365 books, please is a year-long project by yours truly, Anna L. I am a pre-service teacher (a.k.a. grad student), aspiring to build my classroom library by December 31st, 2011. Each day, I'll contribute a work to the collection. You'll find short and sweet posts about pieces such as picture books, instructional texts, juvenile fiction, comics, classics, and more! Cultivating future generations of avid readers is the goal. Your support is greatly appreciated, and recommendations are welcome.

The Keeping Quilt
Patricia Polacco shares the legacy passed down from her Great Gramma Anna, a Jewish immigrant from Russia. The quilt is portrayed in vivid colors on each page. This contrast makes a bold statement against the rest of the book's charcoal illustrations.
