Heart-Warming Holiday Story

THE BEST KIND OF STRING is a charming picture book dedicated to the idea that giving is better than receiving.  Children and parents alike will enjoy and appreciate the lovely idea of tying gifts “with love, the best kind of string.”

Realizing that while getting is nice, giving is too, children ponder the best gifts to give.  Ms. Dubbeld aptly explores the lovely idea of giving “heart gifts” instead of just “things” which is a wonderful concept to foster in children and one to which all can relate.

KC Snider’s illustrations are beautifully colorful and vivid and bring the author’s story and characters to life.  Children will see a variety of ethnicities in the illustrations which encourages acceptance across cultures.

This heart-warming picture book celebrates the joy of giving with love and promotes thinking of others. It is perfect for children ages 1-10.
