'The Keeping Quilt' is such a lovely book and I highly recommend that you read it at home too. It can definitely be found at the public library. If you do have a tradition within your family, share it with your child so they may further understand the concept of what a tradition is! They may be as simple as a special type of homemade cake for every birthday and could be an old tradition or something you have started for your family. In 'The Keeping Quilt', the tradition was ever so slightly changed as it was passed down through the generations, something the students picked up on while hearing the story!
