Reach for this book when your child is struggling to share their space, their things, or your attention with a new sibling. It is a perfect choice for the preschooler or early elementary student who feels like their world has been upended by a 'loud' new addition and needs a gentle reminder that their history and traditions still belong to them. Mooshka is a magical quilt made of scraps from her family's past, and it 'talks' to young Karla by sharing stories of her ancestors. When a new baby brother arrives, the quilt goes silent, mirroring Karla's own feelings of being pushed aside. Through a beautiful moment of shared comfort, Karla discovers that her special traditions aren't being replaced, but rather expanded. It is a soothing, artistic look at empathy and the evolving role of a big sister.
