Synopses & Reviews
This delightful debut picture book celebrates both the joy of venturing into the unknown and the value of staying connected to loved ones back home. It stars a little ball of yarn who cant resist the tug of adventure, the twists and turns of discovery, or the comfort of family and friends.
Edmund is a ball of yarn and a ball of energy! From the time he could roll, hes been bouncing down his front steps to explore, and his parents have always been right there to reel him in and roll him back up. But now that hes bigger, Edmund is ready to discover the wonders of the world. Everything is new and excitingbut sometimes, even a little ball of yarn gets lonely, and theres nothing better than the comfort of being around those he cares about.
Review
“Sunny illustrations. . . . [Edmunds] trailing tail, goofy smile, twirly ‘bangs, baseball cap and jaunty backpack will allow young readers to identify with him. . . . They will smile with recognition when he meets ‘interesting people in the shapes of bottles, toilet paper rolls, buttons and even a friendly pincushion. They will undoubtedly cheer when Edmund exhausts the possibilities of travel and rolls himself home to family and friends. . . . This long extended metaphor filled with laugh-worthy wordplay will comfort children and parents alike.”
