Praise for Praise for The Rag Doll Gift
“The Rag Doll Gift is truly a gift from author Karen Toothaker's heart and family heritage. On their sixth birthdays all of Gran's grandchildren get a special handmade rag doll from her. Kimberly is the youngest of the cousins and the last to get her doll--so there are "ten cousins and nine rag
dolls." But when Gran dies suddenly, Kimberly feels "sad and lonely, angry and confused." She will miss her Gran and all their special times cooking and gardening together, and she will never have her special doll made just for her from Gran. Or will she? Gran has one final special gift for Kimberly. This poignant story celebrates family love and traditions.”
Lynn Plourde- award winning picture book author
“The Rag Doll Gift is a beautifully written story about a family tradition that transcends love and loss. This tender tale will prompt smiles and tears from young and old, inspiring readers to create their own 'gifts' and handmade treasures to share.”
Barbara Walsh, author of Sammy in the Sky
“ A celebration of a family tradition, The Rag Doll Gift is a loving story of comfort and joy.
You will cheer and cry with six year old Kimberly as she waits for her rag doll gift from Gran.”
