New ed. (1988)
(3) K-3 The original edition of this fictionalized memoir ended with Polacco holding her first-born daughter. In 1998 she seamlessly added pages showing her two children using the quilt as their ancestors did--during play and to commemorate important family occasions. This twenty-fifth-anniversary expanded version includes fifteen pages of new life-change events, including deaths and weddings, and details about what happened to the original quilt.
