Editorial Review

“A shy child draws courage from a patchwork quilt in this tender picture book. When Saif declares he is too shy to play basketball with his friends, his mother comforts him by telling him his favorite quilt is made of pieces of him, like the shirt he wore when he was brave and went down the big slide. Saif is reminded of other memories immortalized in the quilt; together, they teach him that he is brave, smart, persistent, helpful, and, most important, still growing.”—Foreword Reviews
