Granny's Quilt

Penny Ives
(Puffin Books)
978-0140545609, RRP £4.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Granny's Quilt (Picture Puffin)" on Amazon

Granny's patchwork quilt is really her autobiography for sewn into it are tiny pieces from the dresses she had as she grew up. While she tells her own story, readers (and her granddaughter) learn something of her memories of schooldays, her first dance, her wedding and her evacuation. This is a warm, evocatively illustrated tale and a marvellous resource for historical exploration at Key Stage One.
