Surprise Gifts

Read-Alouds & Picture Books

Surprise GiftsAunt Farida’s house was so far from town that she had to travel two full days to reach the nearest shop. But that does not bother Aunt Farida one bit. She uses the materials available at hand and makes her own shoes, her clothes, and even her own furniture!
