The Quilt (book)

Illustrator and author Valériane Leblond tells the story of an immigrant family who sell their possessions, except for a black and red quilt lovingly hand-made by the mother, to get to the USA.

The quilt represents love and memories that help the little girl in the story overcome her home sickness and adapt to the family’s new life. This book offers a message of hope - when things look bleak, remember that happy times will return.
