Publisher Comments:

“Were going to see the Elephant!” Thats what people say when they head West on a journey promising to be “something powerful strange. Like a real live elephant, but even bigger - stranger - wilder - scarier!” Lily Rose is raring to go. Along the way shell help stitch her familys adventures into a grand and glorious quilt.

Inspired by a quilt sewn by young Mary Margaret Hezlep in 1859 during her journey West, readers will relish this spirited tale with its lively heroine and bold pictures, cleverly designed to include quilted elements. And theyll have fun finding the elephant hidden in the final quilt and tracing Lily Roses journey from Missouri to California in the quilt border—a reminder of a trip thats as BO-dacious as Lily Rose herself!

The Elephant Quilt is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
