Description

Using the uniquely American art of quilting as the medium, the author "pieces together America" with the help of librarians from each of the 50 states.

Quick Summary

Every state tells its own story through a stunning quilt, with librarians from coast to coast contributing pieces to create a remarkable tapestry of American history and culture. Kids will devour the surprising state facts hidden in each quilt pattern, from why Texas chose cotton blooms to how Maine captured its rocky coastline in fabric. If your kid loves the mystery and discovery of the Where's Waldo series combined with the hands-on creativity of craft books, they'll be hooked. Perfect for curious readers in grades 4 through 7 who enjoy trivia, art, and anything that makes history feel alive.
