Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
With three balls of wool and lots of ingenuity, this mother grapples with a difficult reality and sparks real change.
In search of a freer place where every child can go to school, a family moves from Fascist Portugal to Communist Czechoslovakia. Different as this new country is, however, it is far from ideal. In this new, gray world, the lack of freedom is felt in the simplest things, such as the colors one can and cannot wear.
"In Association with: Amnesty International."
"Originally published in Portugal by Planeta Tangerina ©2015 as Com 3 Novelos (o mundo dá muitas voltas)."
Exiled from their homeland, a young girl and her entire family are unhappy about the monochrome sweaters all children wear until Mom decides to make a change. Includes facts about Portugal's history and government, about Amnesty International, and the text of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
