Papa and the Pioneer Quilt

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rebecca Bond. As her pioneer family journeys from Missouri to Oregon, young Rebecca collects scraps of cloth to keep in her quilt bag. When they finally get to Oregon, she hopes her father's "wandering feet" will stay put. Rebecca's narrative is quietly engaging. The expansive, light-filled acrylic illustrations display images both intimately homey (campfires and sunbonnets) and breathtaking (mountain passes and lush valleys).
