Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the dual stress of a new sibling arriving and a grandparent experiencing a serious health change. Set in the 1940s, it follows young Ariel as she navigates the complicated 'middle' feelings of wanting to be excited for a new baby while feeling deeply anxious about her grandmother's recent stroke. It is a gentle, quiet story that validates the confusion of seeing a strong family member become suddenly fragile. This chapter book is ideal for 8 to 12 year olds who are sensitive to family dynamics. It uses the metaphor of quilting and the migration of geese to explain the cycles of life, making it a beautiful tool for parents who want to normalize the coexistence of joy and sadness. It offers a hopeful roadmap for how a child can find their own way to help when adults are preoccupied with a crisis.
