| Book: The Quiltmaker's Journey |
 |
 |
 This is a beautifully illustrated and wonderfully well written story of the transformation that occurred in the girl who became the Quiltmaker. This is a prequel to The Quiltmaker's Gift, another outstanding book.Themes include poverty, greed, generosity, self sacrifice, simplicity, helpfulness, deception, truthfulness, and suffering. âThis is a book about a girl who was very rich at first when she was young, and she was known for her bravery. And one night she went to the deepest basement in the whole town and her candle burned outâ¦. I like this book for how she helps the poor with what little she has. I also like this book because of what the animals do to help her stay alive by giving her food.â -Nathan Alexander, age 6 Author: Jeff Brumbeau Reading level: All Ages Hardcover: 56 pages Publisher: Orchard (April 1, 2005) Language: English ISBN: 0439512190
