r greater sense of caring and connection than the giver ever imagined in Clarkson's debut picture book. The story memorably demonstrates how valuable a small-seeming thing might be to the person who receives it. The tale celebrates an attitude of gratitude that children might do well to emulate."
-Kirkus Review

Rodica lives with her family in a small village in Romania. A simple act of kindness, from a person they have never met, saves her family. Rodica's red scarf and her selfless sharing helps her family triumph through the seasons as they thank God for the someone somewhere who made the scarf that showed they cared.

Rodica's Red Scarf's message is timeless and many families have made it a tradition to read it on Christmas and/or Valentine's Day.
