Born in France, Pierre loves to travel. Everywhere he goes, he enjoys the sights, the sounds, the smells, and the food. At each new destination, Morocco, Spain, Mexico, the United States, Germany, and others, a mysterious colored thread appears in his pocket, a different color for each country, a different color that represents something about the country. Pierre doesn’t know where the colored threads came from, but he knows they make him happy and he wants to do something with his collection of threads, something special that will help him remember his round-the-world adventures. That’s where his mother’s weaving loom comes in. Can you imagine what Pierre will create with his threads?
Marci Renée’s picture book story, The Boy Who Weaves the World, is a fun, round-the-world adventure that will introduce young readers to many different countries and what makes them unique and fun to explore. The plot follows Pierre as he visits several countries, collecting memories and colorful threads along the way. The colored threads become a special symbolic treasure from each country he visits and, although he never really finds out the threads’ origins, Pierre knows they make him happy. As young readers follow Pierre’s adventures, there’ll be a spark in their own imagination of places they want to visit. At the end of the book are some activities to help young readers get a better idea of how big and diverse our world is. A great way to teach geography to young readers and inspire them to have an interest in the world beyond their own backyards.
