Flournoy, V. (1985). The patchwork quilt. New York: Dial Books for Young Readers.
The Patchwork Quilt is one of my favorite stories. The story is about a young girl, Tanya, who wants so badly to help her grandmother make a quilt. Jerry Pinkney one a Corretta Scott King Award for the beautiful illustrations in this book. The quilt made by the grandmother includes scraps of clothing from each member of the family. The grandmother is the glue that keeps this family grounded and she shows that she loves them by taking each day and working on the special quilt, with help from her granddaughter. This story has always touched my heart because of the relationship the little girl has with her grandmother. My great-grandmother always made quilts, and she would give those to us as gifts. I will never forget the hard work and time she put into her wonderful work.
Jerry Pinkney, is a very talented artist, who has illustrated numerous other books. Some of his works include: Mirandy and Brother Wind, written by Patricia C. McKissack. John Henry, written by Julius Lester, and The Ugly Duckling.
