About This Book
Spanning four generations of a Russian-Jewish immigrant family, a quilt sewn from old clothes and a babushka becomes a cherished heirloom present at weddings, births, and family gatherings. Patricia Polacco draws from her own family history to show how love and memories are stitched into the fabric of everyday life.
Why We Love This
A deeply moving story about heritage and family bonds - we especially love how it shows children that the simplest objects can carry the most powerful memories.
