Annabelle (Lubna in the Arabic translation) lives in a black-and-white world, where everything is drab. So when she finds a box filled with yarn of every color, she makes a sweater for herself, for her dog, her classmates, even for houses and cars. Soon an evil archduke with a sinister mustache “who was very fond of clothes” hears about the magic box of never-ending yarn, and he wants it for his own. This amusing, magical story celebrates a child’s generosity, ingenuity and her ability to change the world around her.

The magical power that stems from Annabelle’s kindness and her love for the people of her town, her ability to care for them even when they mock and harass her, and her generosity enable her to overcome the greed of the prince and to nullify his curse.
This is a beautiful story to share with our children about the magical effects of an act of generosity, an act of love and inclusion.
