ReviewsA Stitch in Time: "Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, Donut's story is gritty, hopeful and ultimately all about the various ways that love shows up. I loved it." - Kathi Appelt, National Book Award Finalist and Newbery Honor author of The Underneath " Taxidermy? What better journey to uncover the true stuff of character! A classic, indelible debut." - Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor author of One Crazy Summer, "Written in the third person limited to Donut's perspective, Kalmar's debut has an authentic voice that brings her protagonist vividly to life and lends her struggles with grief an immediacy that belies the 1927 setting. Donut is brassy and flawed but easy to love, especially in light of how much she values friendships and her growing self-awareness."-- Booklist , starred review " Kalmar introduces a delightfully intricate character in Donut , whose passions include bird taxidermy, memorizing tidbits from the atlas Pops gave her, and her friendships with affectingly portrayed Vermonters. The author leaves readers knowing that her insightful, articulate, and wry heroine will land--solidly--on her feet."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Kalmar transports readers into the woods of Vermont with her vivid descriptions. Readers will empathize with Donut's heartache over the loss of her father and her fierce desire to resist change at all costs. A superb read-aloud, educators and readers will find much to discuss. VERDICT A solid piece of historical fiction, this novel is a recommended purchase for most libraries.

"--School Library Journal "Readers with an interest in historical fiction will appreciate this energetic and lively heroine dealing with loss as best as she can."- -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "For more than 20 years, debut novelist Daphne Kalmar was a teacher who loved introducing her students to the natural world. Her affection for the animals and landscapes of Vermont's northern kingdom is apparent throughout A Stitch in Time , but what will really win over readers is her novel's heroine. With her big heart and an openness to adventure, Donut is an affecting blend of toughness, vulnerability and fearlessness. A Stitch in Time would make a wonderful read-aloud and provides an opportunity for parents and children to talk about grief, love and self-reliance."-- BookPage, "Written in the third person limited to Donut's perspective, Kalmar's debut has an authentic voice that brings her protagonist vividly to life and lends her struggles with grief an immediacy that belies the 1927 setting.
