Mooshka: A Quilt Story

Title: Mooshka: A Quilt Story

Adopt-a-Book month is almost over and still we have books waiting for a loving family to claim them.  Mooshka: A Quilt Story would be the perfect book to adopt if you have a new baby, or a grandmother you would like to honor.

Mooshka was a quilt.  She was not just any quilt, she was a very unusual and special quilt that her grandmother had made her when she was young.  It was full of color and life and made her room glow at night.

"If there was something scary under the bed, it snuggled tight around her and made her feel safe.  But that wasn't why Karla's quilt was unusual."

What made Mooshka the most special quilt was that it talked to Karla every evening, and every morning, when she touched it, the quilt would tell her stories.  The different pieces of fabric that her grandmother called "schnitz" all told different stories about her family and what they have seen.

One day something changes in her life and Mooshka stops speaking to Karla. She doesn't know how to make Mooshka speak again but she does know how to make someone very very happy.

Adopt this book to find out how Mooshka is passed along.
