A girl loves to draw, while her mother loves to knit. Drawing feels free and colorful; knitting looks wonderful but can also be tricky and frustrating. When a beach trip sparks new ideas, mother and daughter begin to see that their talents do not have to stay separate. One can imagine the picture, and the other can help turn it into something warm, useful, and shared. Angela Dominguez’s picture book is a gentle celebration of creativity, patience, and family teamwork. Young readers who enjoy art, crafts, and stories about making something together will find a warm reminder that different skills can fit beautifully side by side.

A Year in Poems & Quilts

A year can be seen in pieces: a patch of snow, a burst of spring, summer brightness, autumn change. In Pieces, Anna Grossnickle Hines pairs poems with photographs of her own quilts, creating a stitched and spoken journey through the seasons. Each poem notices a moment from the natural world, while the quilt art turns color, pattern, and texture into another way of reading the year.
