The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco is a beautiful story about an heirloom quilt that was passed down through the generations. The mostly black and white pictures only serve to enhance the beauty of the quilt. By the end, this story begs to ask the question: What are you passing down to your children?
I believe that every one needs a keeping quilt - something to pass down to your children to help them remember where and who they came from. I have two items, both made by grandparents, a quilt and a dollhouse.
Favorite line: "We will make a quilt to help us always remember home," Anna's mother said.
