Stína | Lani Yamamoto

Stína lives in Iceland, and there is one thing she simply cannot stand: being cold. Even in summer she bundles up, and when winter arrives she retreats indoors to knit and invent clever ways to keep even the smallest chill away. But one especially cold day, two children arrive at her door with a very different approach to winter—they stay warm by going outside and playing in it. Their unexpected friendship encourages Stína to venture beyond her cozy home and discover that winter might hold a little more joy than she imagined. Warm, funny, and wonderfully cozy, Stína weaves knitting and making into a gentle story about friendship, resourcefulness, and finding the courage to try something new. It even includes Stína’s instructions for knitting without needles and a recipe for hot chocolate.
