    Selina's Mennonite family must flee to Upper Canada during the American Civil War. Her Grandmother, staying behind with relatives, gives Selina a bear paw quilt top made with many scraps of memories, to take with her. The scenes and quilt pattern illustrations are beautifully done. Early elementary, but may be appreciated by all.

From the Critics

"The idyllic pictures are bordered by brilliantly colored, minutely detailed, real quilt patterns of astonishing variety.  An introduction explains the history, but the real focus is on the illustrations, which show and tell the beauty of the quilts."--Booklist

"The study of quilts is often used to link social studies, math, and art and a multicultural approach to history should certainly include the Mennonites."--School Library Journal
