When a book celebrates sweet relationships that cross generations, it wins points in my book. The girl and her nana have a very close relationship, as do other children in the classroom who brought their own grandparents. It’s so fun for the children to see all the different ways people earn their livings as well as how they grew up.
If you’re looking for a book about cultural differences, family traditions and sweet relationships–not to mention the craft of quilting!–this is a great option. Enjoy!
