On a fresh spring day, young Yetsa, her mother and her grandmother gather to prepare the sheep fleeces piled in Grandma's yard. As they clean, wash and dry the fleece, laughter and hard work connect the three generations. Through Yetsa's experience of each task, the reader joins this family in an old but vibrant tradition: the creation of Cowichan sweaters. Each sweater is unique, and its design tells a story. In Yetsa's Sweater, that story is one of love, welcome and pride in a job well done.
Written by Sylvia Olsen and illustrated by Joan Larson.
Nominated for a Shining Willow Award, BC Booksellers Choice Award, Chocolate Lily Award and Blue Spruce Award.
