A classic making lemonade from lemons story. Izzy can do just about anything so when she takes up knitting she expects to excel at that as well. While scarves and hats knit up quickly, her sweaters always come out wrong. Both Izzy and her canine pal Max are depicted in watercolor and ink illustrations that showcase Izzy’s creative process, her frustration, and her relationship with Max. The story illustrates two big lessons: everyone fails sometimes and sometimes your failures wind up as successes even though they don’t turn out as expected. It’s an enjoyable and lovely story from which we can all learn a lesson from reading it. Recommend for grades 1-5.
