Zigzag

When the doll maker creates Zigzag from clothing scraps, she promises that "some child will love you." Her promise gives the strange-looking doll hope. But the other dolls and stuffed animals in the shop don't want such an ugly toy hanging around, so they force Zigzag to leave. Clinging to the promise that a child will someday love him, little Zigzag sets out on a journey in search of happiness and a new home.

Children love to explore the simple bold illustrations that make the story look like it was quilted from scrapes. This colorful story about an orphan doll looking for love will teach readers the importance of compassion, perseverance, courage, and respect, and that being different is what makes us special.
