The creator of Floss stitches together a comforting new baby gift - and a gentle tribute to family and home.

"There is a farm far away from the town, in a valley in the hills where
a river runs. . . . This is home, my little one. This is where we live."

As Mother sews a quilt for Baby, she quietly tells its story, patchwork square by square. There are the frolicking sheep and lambs, and there’s the collie, Floss, who helps Daddy herd them. There are the mare and her frisky foal, a flapping goose and her gosling, a cat curled up with her kitten. And when the story is done, there is a soft quilt to surround Baby with all the scenes of a family’s familiar world.

About the Author:
Kim Lewis, the author-illustrator of FLOSS, JUST LIKE FLOSS, LITTLE BAA, and other picture books about farm life, lives on a sheep farm in England. Of A QUILT FOR BABY, she says, "From an early age, I remember my mother quilting. It seemed natural to use the idea of the quilt as an heirloom for passing on my hopes and feelings about farming."
From Booklist:
PreS-Gr. 1. As a mother sews, she talks to her baby about the quilt she is making. Stitched into the squares are pictures representing their farm, including many baby animals: puppy, lamb, calf, foal, chick, gosling, kid, and kitten. After she finishes the quilt, the mother wraps her baby in it and quietly recapitulates the pictures appliqued onto it. The baby falls asleep. The rhythmic text flows along in a soothing way, making this a good, soporific story for bedtime. A typical spread in this large-format picture book features a big picture showing a scene in the house or around the farm and, on the opposite page, a smaller picture of a quilt square representing the same subject. Children will enjoy seeing the larger, more realistic drawings alongside the simplified representations of the same scenes. Color-coordinated with the quilt-square backgrounds, page borders in gingham prints set off the precise, delicately colored pencil drawings to perfection. Fans of Lewis' other picture books will recognize Floss the collie among the animals on the farm. Carolyn Phelan
