(2) K-3 Graphic novelist Brosgol makes an impressive picture-book debut with this inventive story about an old woman's quest to knit in peace. Repetition grounds the out-of-this-world elements (fleeing "little green moon men"; entering a wormhole); Brosgol's richly colored illustrations in an autumnal palette also place us in familiar folktale territory, combining an early-twentieth-century Eastern European vibe with a contemporary sense of humor.
