The Patchwork Quilt
Written by Valerie Flournoy, illustrated by Jerry Pinkney
Recommended Ages: 5 6 7 8 9
Tanya watches her grandmother work on a patchwork quilt. Grandma tells Tanya that this "masterpiece" will take at least a year to complete. However, Tanya becomes impatient, as she wants the quilt to be done in a hurry. Then, Grandma begins to gather more patches from (e.g., Jim's corduroy pants, Tanya's Halloween Costume). But one day, Grandma becomes ill and cannot work on the quilt for a long time. With some hesitation, Tanya starts cutting-out patches. Soon the whole family gets involved in finishing the quilt. However, Grandma is able to put on the "finishing touches." (K-4) A Coretta Scott King Award Winner
