The original edition of this fictionalized memoir, published in 1988, 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 paper-over-board edition of the expanded version of Polacco's story is notable for its bargain price.
