The Handkerchief Quilt

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gary Palmer. When pipes burst at school, most of the books and supplies are ruined. Teacher Miss Anderson donates her handkerchief collection, and the community comes together to make a quilt and raise money. The tale is based on true events (Miss Anderson is modeled after the author's mother), and Crane's writing is earnest but bland. Palmer's illustrations, though static, are warm-hearted.
