THE SALTBOX SWEATER
By JANET MCNAUGHTON
Awards: 2002 Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice Citation
When the fish plant closes in her home community, nine-year-old Katie Johnson
watches all her friends move away. As Katie's mother and grandmother struggle to
stay in their home, Katie learns to appreciate the help of neighbours, and
begins to find ways to help out herself. The discovery of an unexpected talent
gives Katie's mother hope of a new vocation, but can she support her family as a
craft worker? Katie has an idea that might just make that possible. This
realistic story of life in rural Newfoundland after the 1992 moratorium on
northern cod stocks is written to appeal to newly independent readers.
