a family that migrates to America. The story begins with the first generation
migrating to American, specifically New York. The story identifies how different
New York is from Russian. As a gesture to remember their home country a quilt is made.
The quilt then travels through four generations where it is used as a tablecloth,
a huppa and welcomes new babies. There is no climax to the story but the passing
of time is important to the message of family tradition.
Patricia Polacco was born on July 11th, 1944 in Lansing, Michigan.
Her mother’s family were Jewish immigrants from Russia and
The Ukraine. Her father's people were from The County of Limerick in Ireland.
