A beautiful story with gorgeous illustrations. A wonderful story of generosity and kindness; one of my very favorite children's stories.

This book is a faily lengthy story of giving, sacrifice, and thoughtfulness. The heavy themes play well in this book, with a great story to carry them along. The story is worded in a more complex way - no rhyming, longer sentences, longer paragraphs. It's more suitable for the 4-8 crowd, or an advanced 3 yr old.
The text is set against complex colorful illustrations. Pages utilize classic quilting patterns at background. The illustrations are very interesting and often stall our reading of the story (so that the kids can look further before turning the page). They are also a bit busy, which I find distracting when trying to read the book. It isn't too hard, though, and the heartwarming tale makes it very worthwhile.
I highly recommend this text. I've given it as gifts to many people with success. [It's especially adored by grandmothers who are quilters!]
