Grandmother Baba Quotes

“When you come home, first I will look to see if you are safe and sound, but then I will look to see if you still have your snow white mittens.”

“At first his Grandmother, Baba, did not want to knit white mittens. ‘If you drop one in the snow,’ she warned, ‘you’ll never find it.’ ”

“The mitten swelled and stretched. It was pulled and bulged to many times it size. But Baba’s good knitting held fast.”

“As he ran to catch his snow-white mitten, he saw Baba’s face in the window. First she looked to see if he was safe and sound, and then she saw that he still had his new mittens.”
