Best Books of 2024 lists: NYPL, New York Magazine, Quill & Quire - JLG Gold Standard Selection - Moonbeam Children's Book Award Winner - Kids Indie Next Pick
From the acclaimed author of The Wolf Suit comes another weirdly hilarious, masterfully thought-provoking, and lushly painted early reader graphic novel.
Two sisters, one stubbornly cheerful (Beatrice) and one relentlessly grumpy (Magnolia), live in a drafty old house with a family of helpful spiders. When Beatrice is gifted magic yarn from a giant forest spider obsessed with sustainability named Bog Myrtle, she and the spiders set to work knitting up a perfectly warm sweater.
But greedy Magnolia sees only the opportunity for profit, and quickly converts the old house into a magic sweater factory. The exhausted spiders are driven to strike, and Bog Myrtle is not pleased . . .
Bog Myrtle is a witty modern folktale that touches on themes of capitalism, environmentalism, labor rights, and being a nice person.
"I adore this book as much as I adore empowered spiders, poker-faced narrators, and cooperative bookstores. It's wry, whip-smart, and freaking gorgeous. Sid Sharp is a maestro of comic timing and subversion." --Kyo Maclear, author of It Began With a Page
