Hannah has always wanted a doll of her very own, and each year when Papa goes away to the annual market, she hopes that he will bring one home.

Through these unexpected guests, Hannah learns that if you have enough, you have something to share and that visitors are always a welcomed gift.

What readers are saying about “The Clothespin Doll”

“This story had so much emotional depth. While the family was of little material means, you could feel the love and generosity that was the fabric of this small family. I read this story to my twin 8-year-old daughters this evening, and they were so intrigued with the story that we read the whole book in one sitting.”

“The Clothespin Doll is a charming little book. I think every parent should have it in their child’s library. It is a great book to read to your child or have them read to themselves. The illustrations are excellent, but you must buy the book to find out why.“

“This well-written, well-told story is sweet and full of love. It’s an absolute treasure to be read time and again and to share with others. After reading it, I feel that I have received a most precious gift. (This book was not purchased for a child but for me.)”

“I love the book’s focus on family, love, and the willingness to share from an open, generous heart. A beautiful children’s story.“

“The Clothespin Doll is a story for all ages, and especially for today’s youth and teachers. It is heartwarming and inspiring. Everyone has something to give.“

“This is the sweetest book. I read it to a large group of Kindergarten students during our Then & Now unit. We talked about the message. Then we made our own clothespin dolls to take home.
It was very meaningful! I’ve recommended it to many teacher friends.”

“’There is always enough to share.’ What a beautiful, simple story of kindness and giving that can be told and re-told throughout the generations.”
