Fabrics Tale Snuggling in bed as Mom or Dad reads a good book. Cuddling with siblings or cousins on the couch in front of a movie during the holidays. Maybe even watching, fascinated, as an older relative thoughtfully and lovingly sews colorful squares of patterned fabric into a quilt--which will be enjoyed at next year's holiday! Every day kids enjoy the warmth and comfort that a blanket brings. It smells and feels like home, even when it's packed in a bag for a trip far away. Joe Perrenod's children's book Fabrics Tale offers a charming way for children to learn more about one of their favorite things. In its own voice, a swatch of fabric tells its life story, from its birth as a puffy cotton boll all the way to its final place of honor: as a square in an award-winning quilt.
