“I have enjoyed Naoko Stoop's work as an illustrator, so I loved being introduced to her Red Knit Cap Girl, who is known throughout the world. This introductory story to the Red Knit Cap Girl is simple and sweet. Naoko's illustrations are very pleasant, and the story shares a nice message about ideating solutions and being still enough to experience special moments.”
