Nari’s sheep provides fleece that begins a scarf’s long life cycle. The wool is sheared, cleaned, brushed, spun, colored, knitted, and worn before the scarf is ultimately composted. Watercolor and colored-pencil artwork accompanies this account of a material changing form from fleece to finished clothing and back into compost. The story centers on the stages involved in making and using the scarf.
