Karla loves her quilt, Mooshka, made by her grandmother. Mooshka tells Karla the family stories behind each piece of fabric but goes silent when Karla's baby sister is born. Karla eventually learns to comfort her sister by telling the stories Mooshka once told. Paschkis's vibrant black-outlined illustrations are set within frames of patchwork in this unique, welcome addition to the new-baby genre.
