THE PATCHWORK QUILT, by Valerie FlournoyAR Level: 3.7 Points: .5
Interest Level: Elementary
Vocabulary Quiz Available
Tanya's grandmother is a quilt maker. She starts working on a very special quilt that’s made out of scraps of cloth taken from worn out clothing of various family members. Tanya’s mother and grandmother work on the quilt each night, until her grandma gets sick and can’t work on it. She gets so sick that Tanya isn’t even allowed to visit her. Her grandmother slowly gets better, though—and Tanya helps her finish it while she’s recovering. This would be a great book to read in conjunction with THE KEEPING QUILT, by Patricia Polacco. I love the relationship between Tanya and her grandmother.
