The Log Cabin Quilt (Log Cabin)

Product #:	0823412474
Description:	Soon after Elvirey's mother's death, the family packs up a covered wagon and moves from Carolina to Michigan. Granny sits with her quilting scraps, watching Pap and Bub build a log cabin, while Elvirey and Sis chink the cracks between the logs. The story climaxes in winter, when Elvirey's resourceful use of the quilting scraps helps heal her broken family and make the new house a home. Sensitively written and illustrated, this picture book does more than illustrate pioneer life. Told in a light dialect and from Elvirey's point of view, the story outwardly concerns settling in Michigan, but at its heart is the girl's longing for her mother. The two parts converge in the emotionally satisfying ending. Himler's impressionistic paintings have a rather muted palette, brightened with warm undertones and, of course, the quilting scraps. This expressive picture book brings the past to life.
