Mooshka, A Quilt Story Julie Paschkis

Karla loves Mooshka, a quilt composed of scraps of fabric from many members of Karla s family. But Mooshka is more than a quilt it can talk, comforting Karla at bedtime. Each square or schnitz, tells her stories of her ancestors and their lives. When new baby sister Hannah arrives, Karla s routine is upset and Mooshka falls silent. Only when Karla shares Mooshka with her sister does the quilt begin to speak again and tell Hannah stories of Karla s early life.
