Reach for this book when your child expresses curiosity about their family tree or shows an interest in how everyday objects are made. This photo-essay serves as a gentle bridge between history and art, explaining how quilts are more than just blankets: they are tactile records of a family's journey.

Appropriate for elementary and middle schoolers, it transforms a complex craft into an accessible story of connection.
