The Misfit Sock
The Misfit Sock,Ìýwritten by Karen Kiefer and illustrated by Kathy DeWit, is a family tradition-turned-storybook that tells the tale of a sock that has lost its match and is thrown into a misfit laundry pile. The forgotten sock loses all hope until it meets the magnificent spirit of Christmas. It finds meaning and purpose when it is magically transformed into a gratitude sock for Santa, his elves, and his reindeer.
The Misfit Sock tradition inspires families to bring gratitude to the forefront during the Advent season. The book sparked Misfit University, an anti-bullying and self-love campaign that has touched children and adults all over the world, encouraging allÌýto celebrate what makes them different.Ìý
