Picture Book Pair for Sweater Weather

on
Happy Autumn! It’s the season of pumpkin picking, applesauce making, leaves crunching, and…sweater wearing. That’s right. It’s sweater weather! The temperatures are dropping, and we are getting close to snow falling. Maybe you already have snow! Whatever your weather, it’s certainly time to slip on a sweater.

Wearing sweaters to keep warm has been happening for centuries. According to britanica.com, sweaters were invented in the 15th century on the English Channel Islands. Fishermen in Ireland and Scotland followed suite. Early sweaters were made from thick, heavy wool. They often featured intricate patterns and were treated with oil to help make them water resistant on the high seas. In the 1890s sweaters were adopted by athletes in the United States, which is where they were first called sweaters.
