Following a quilt passed from generation to generation, the reader sees the warmth of Russian tradition and shared experiences across generations. Beautiful art captures the importance of this one, bright object amidst black and white sketches.

Beautifully told like only Polacco can about her own family's history from Russia through six generations. The quilt is no doubt in her daughter's hands now, since she is my age. Sigh. Lovely.

Reading this as a mother of young children and a granddaughter who recently lost her own grandmother, I was emotional thinking of the ways we carry the ones we love. What a beautiful sentiment to pass down a quilt that holds such immensely meaningful memories.

I loved this was a story about families, traditions and preserving family history. The illustrations ruined it for me...just not appealing.
