Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lois Wickstrom lives in a world where imaginary playmates are real. She doesn’t remember being born, so she finds unbirthdays are more exciting than the official once-a-year date on the calendar. She’s taken so many science classes that she believes science is the solution to almost every problem, including the dilemmas in fairy tales.

She writes by herself. She writes with co-authors. She asks illustrators what they would like to draw. If she ever writes her autobiography, the title will be My Life as a Group Project.

Her mother used to get angry with her for daydreaming. Her little sister picked on her. So she lived in books and wrote her own stories in which the bad-guys made sense, and the good-guys had a chance. As she has grown older, her imagination has grown weirder. Even she doesn’t know what she will write next.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Lesson and Wonderful Illustrations!
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023
I feel like Lois Wickstrom knows exactly how to weave a story with just enough fun and lessons to help kids while keeping them engaged the whole time. Lila’s Grandma knits her a poncho which is a lovely gesture. But Lila finds that there are three holes in it for the head and she’s convinced that Grandma has made a mistake. In true Grandma fashion, she shrugs it off and smiles with “We all pull together.” While Lila doesn’t understand this right away, she finds out later on when she sees three new kids in need. My family always enjoys reading books by this author. We read it as a group, and I like to get their ideas afterwards. Somehow Lois peers into the hearts of kiddos and understands exactly what they need. I loved the lesson and illustrations. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to share an incredible book with the family!

4.0 out of 5 stars Friendship and Pulling Together
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
This is the really cute story of how friendship and understanding can pull everyone together. Lila thinks that her grandmother makes a mistake when she knits her a poncho with 3 neck holes, but she quickly realizes that she can share her poncho with her friend and not-so-much of a friend when the weather turns blustery and they have to hustle home. I really love Wickstrom's stories and how she's always able to weave life-lessons into them and the illustrations are wonderful. My youngest daughter always enjoys these stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars We're All Pulling Together
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2023
Grandma is knitting a poncho for Lila but it's no ordinary poncho. This one has three heads! Lila is confused but Grandma keeps saying, "We all pull together!" Lila goes out to see her friends. They aren't as kind as they should be about her poncho but when the things get tough, the poncho will pull everyone together.

I love how this story features a grandmother knitting her grandchild something! I am a crafter and I can appreciate this sentiment so much! Many times things are gifted that aren't immediately appreciated but then something happens and the thing that the receiver thinks they didn't want becomes a treasure. I love the relationship that Lila has with her grandmother too! There's nothing like a grandmother!

This is a great book to read with your favorite youngsters about friendship and bullying. It's also a great lesson in respecting those around you, including elders. I highly recommend this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pulling together when life is tough
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023
I absolutely love the message, “We all pull together” that is evident throughout this book. Lois Wickstrom has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her illustrator, Janet King does a wonderful job of bringing the story to life with the illustrations! Lila is spending time with her Grammie who is putting the finishing touches on a poncho just for Lila. At first Lila is not too sure about the poncho, but it ends up pulling her and others together. Pulling Together is one of my favorite books with an Important message that even though something might not seem great at first, it can all come together well in the end. Another thing that can be learned is to forgive others and bring them close. Wrap up with your favorite cozy jacket, poncho, or blanket and enjoy this sweet book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023
This book was cute. It was fun reading about Lila and the poncho with three neck holes. It is a story about friendship and how friends need to pull together in times of need. It is a good story and I think it provides insight for children on how to cope with bullying and friends. I recommend this book to anyone who has children who enjoy reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book by this author so far..
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2023
I've read several books by Lois Wickstrom and I love the way she weaves important messages/ themes within fun stories. Pulling Together is a fun read about pulling together with friends and with people who you may not feel deserve it. This is such a great message and way to deal with someone who was bullying them. The subtle message that grandma didn't make a mistake but knew what she was doing and how her granddaughter was smart enough to trust and listen to her was touching as well.

I also enjoyed the colorfully rendered illustrations in this book. They make the story come alive so beautifully. I have several books by Wickstrom that I like, but this is by far my favorite.

My great nieces, nephew and I love this author's books and this is one of our favorites. Very good illustrations and I love the overall message of this story and young and old can enjoy and learn.

Lila is curious that her Grammie is knitting something from Lila that is 3 holes and no sleeves..what could it be? When Grammie is done with the poncho for Lila....she immediately tries it one to go outside...and this poncho keeps Lila warm. Will Lila share when her friends get chilly while playing outside too even is one of her friends is a bit abrasive?

Remember "We All Pull Together"...what a wonderful message for not only children to remember but for adults too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pulling Together!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023
Pulling together was another great book written by Lois Wickstrom. The Grandmother made a poncho with 3 head holes and her grand daughter thought she made a mistake. Later in the story 3 friends pull together and share it. I think this would be a great book to teach young ones about sharing. I also think it would be great in teaching them how they can come together and use them with each other. It was definitely easy to read.
