Quilt a Q

I'm I love it when the weather turns cozy.

Cozy means quilts and hot cocoa.

Of course when I am wishing for cozy weather, my favorite quilt stories come to mind: The Keeping Quilt, by Patricia Polacco, Stitchen' and Pullin' by Patricia C. McKissack, Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson, Luka's Quilt by Gerogia Guback.

And when I think about picture books, I think of all the simple crafts I enjoyed with my little ones, crafts that helped them to delight in the potential of language. So read a book and quilt a Q with your little one and embark on a literary tradition.

Hi! A quick correction: I think there is a book called The Keeping Quilt. But the title of my picture book is Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. Thanks for including it!

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for correcting my error that was a result of blogging late into the night! Of course I know this title... I have actually read your book to scores of children, including my four. My copy is well worn. In fact, your exceptional story is one that I would love to eventually include in an Earlybird collection.
