"... a heartwarming vindication of good-heartedness, something that doesn't always get celebrated in a girlhood culture of snark" - The New York Times Young Shiraz lives a lonely life with her stepmother and stepsister, completely unaware of the old woman who lives alone next door...until Shiraz's runaway yarn ball brings them face-to-face. This beautiful story from Tehran-born Israeli pop star Rita Jahanforuz explores the power of listening to others and the value of empathy.
