Product Overview
This 25th anniversary edition of a beloved and bestselling classic about family and tradition includes fifteen pages of bonus material.
We will make a quilt to help us always remember home, Annas mother said. It will be like having the family in backhome Russia dance around us at night.
And so it was. From a basket of old clothes, Annas babushka, Uncle Vladimirs shirt, Aunt Havalahs nightdress, and an apron of Aunt Natashas become The Keeping Quilt, passed along from mother to daughter for almost a century. For four generations the quilt is a Sabbath tablecloth, a wedding canopy, and a blanket that welcomes babies warmly into the world.
In strongly moving pictures that are as heartwarming as they are real, Patricia Polacco tells the story of her own family and the quilts further story that remains a symbol of their enduring love and faith. This anniversary edition includes fifteen pages of original material describing the quilts journey and its home at the Mazza Museum in Findley, Ohio.
