About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their place in the world or feeling like they do not quite fit in. It is a soul-soothing choice for children who are curious about their family history or are beginning to ask big questions about who they are and where they come from. Through the gentle metaphor of weaving, the story helps children see themselves not as a single thread, but as a masterpiece in progress, made of many different colors and histories. This rhythmic, rhyming narrative follows a young girl as she learns the art of the loom from her family. As she works, she travels through time and across the globe, seeing how different cultures have used the same craft to tell their stories. It is an exquisite tool for building self-confidence and a sense of global belonging. Perfectly suited for ages 5 to 9, it transforms the abstract concept of heritage into something tactile, colorful, and deeply beautiful.
