The Keeping Quilt
Written and Illustrated by: Patricia Polacco
Elementary Grades
The text develops a strong feeling for family and Jewish traditions as a great-grandmother comes to the United States from Russia. She brings with her a blue dress and a red babushka. These items eventually become part of a quilt that reveals the memories and history of the family.
Multicultural Connections: After reading the book, students could create their own keeping quilt as part of an art project.
