Age rating and parents' guide:We are Weaving
by Kerri Thomsen
Ages 3–6
We are Weaving by Kerri Thomsen is best for children aged 3–6. It has no violence, nothing scary, no romance and no bad language.
It is a chilly day near the mountain, and Snake, Hen, and Horse are feeling the cold. Thread is gathered, cut, and stitched, but small individual clothes still leave them shivering. That is when Monkey steps up with plenty of colorful patches to create a cozy blanket big enough to warm all the friends together.
