The Quilt of Belonging
Stitching Together the Stories of a Nation
By Janice Weaver

This unique and highly visual book for young people highlights dozens of stunning individual blocks and tells the fascinating stories of the groups they represent. Each block showcases startlingly beautiful and varied craftwork.

Around the world and through time people have created beauty and warmth out of scraps. They've told stories with their material and their needles. This unique introduction for young readers places this quilt within its larger cultural context and even gives kids instructions for making their own quilt of belonging. Their textile piece need not be our traditional quilt but can even be made with paper or fabric and glue, or any other material, or can even be made on their computers.
