reviewed Keeping Quilt on November 20, 2009 Keeping Quilt
I love this picture book biography about a family and their quilt.
The illustrations are wonderful. The quilt and its dress and babushka that went into making it, are shown in glorious color; the rest of the illustrations are done in charcoal. It makes for a lovely effect.
The story is very moving. It starts when the author's great grandmother came to America and how as she outgrew her dress, that dress and her headscarf were used, along with other family members' items, were used to make a quilt. The story follows this quilt down generations of the family. It's used for a variety of things including a huppa at weddings, a blanket to welcome new babies, a tablecloth for birthday celebrations, the making of superhero capes, etc. It's the story of a family and how it grows and changes with each generation but how the quilt ties them all together.
