“Crafty Chloe” by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Heather Ross
I am a crafter. I love to create unique presents for a friend or family member and see how much they appreciate the extra effort of a handmade gift. Chloe is just like me! She’s not great at many things, but she’s awesome at making stuff.
Her best friend, Emma, is having a birthday party, and Chloe wants to get her the newest doll from the toy store. Her dreams are shattered when another girl, London, buys the doll just before Chloe can. What will she do now? Not to worry, Chloe is crafty and she’s going to make Emma a gift that is so special and unique that she’ll forget all about the doll from London. Chloe stays up all night gluing, painting and sewing. What she makes is perfect, and I don’t want to spoil the surprise. But in the end, she saves the day with her beautifully crafted birthday gift for Emma!

If Chloe's story moves you to make your own creations, be sure to look for craft books for children available at the library. Also, be sure to check out Chloe’s blog with craft ideas just for kids, inspired by the book.
