"All of this takes weeks, but in my memory, it's one long wonderful day."

A Knot is Not a Tangle, written by Daniel Nayeri and illustrated Vesper Stamper is a beautiful picture book that tells the story of a young boy and his grandmother weaving a rug together.

From shearing the sheep, to carding and spinning the wool, to dyeing the yarn, to plotting out the design, to warping the loom, and finally, knot by knot, weaving the rug.

A story about family, tradition, and embracing the beauty of imperfections
