When Anna’s family comes to America from Russia, pieces of their old clothing are sewn together into a quilt—a beautiful reminder of the family and home they left behind. Passed from one generation to the next, the quilt becomes part of weddings, Sabbath celebrations, new babies, and family traditions.
Based on Patricia Polacco’s own family history, this warm and beautifully illustrated story celebrates immigration, memory, Jewish traditions, and the ways family stories are carried from one generation to another.
