About This Book
A cherished quilt comforts a pioneer girl as her family moves to a new home in the wilderness, then lies forgotten in an attic for generations. Years later, another little girl discovers the tattered quilt and finds the same comfort and love stitched into its fabric as she adjusts to her own new home.
Why We Love This
Tomie dePaola's gentle illustrations bring this multigenerational story to life so beautifully - it's a lovely way to talk about family history, moving, and the objects that carry our memories.
