Four generations in a Jewish immigrant family use the same fabric. First it's a babushka, then a quilt border, picnic throw, wedding canopy, baptismal wrap, tablecloth, pretend cape, comforter, etc. The red print fabric stands out on each page amidst brown tone drawings showing families in all stages of life, observance and celebration. (Ages 4-9)

A homemade quilt ties together the lives of six generations of the author's immigrant Jewish family, remaining a symbol of their enduring love and faith.
