A beautiful story for all families!
My daughter picked this off the library shelf and I cried the first time I read it to my children. The illustrations are simple, yet deep and emotional. I will be buying this for our home library, and also a second copy for my classroom.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
I think this book is a great story that tells how they kept their family close, even when they are in a whole other country. The illustrations showed just how the family felt. It also tells that even though Great-Gramma Anna died, she is still watching over them through the stitches of the quilt. All the first born girls after Anna got the quilt that she made. They would all preserve memories in the quilt to pass on to other family members. The quilt has been through a lot since Anna. It has become table cloths, tents, and capes. I highly recommend this book because it is a loving story.

This story is a treasure to keep and share just as the title promotes.
The Keeping Quilt delights in a fasion that never grows old. It tenderly guides you through the story of a family , although mislplaced, continues to keep it's memories locked in the patches of a quilt. Each patch holds a story re-told through the eyes its maker. Every word embraces family spirit and strength as the illustrations evoke love, warmth, laughter, as well as hardship. A wonderful stroll for the entire family.
