The Blessing Cup

Great news! Best selling and much beloved author/illustrator, Patricia Polacco, brings us her new book, The Blessing Cup. This tender tribute to the importance of loving lineage is a prequel and companion to the perennial bestseller The Keeping Quilt and is told and illustrated with authenticity and tremendous heart. We couldn't be more excited!

As a young Russian Jewish girl in the early 1900s, Anna and her family lived in fear of the Czar’s soldiers. The family lived a hard life and had few possessions—their treasure was a beautiful china tea set. When Anna’s family leaves Russia for America, they bring the tea set and its blessings.

PATRICIA POLACCO empfiehlt In Our Mothers' House.

Ms. Polacco has written and illustrated such notable books as Pink and Say, Thank You, Mr. Falker and Chicken Sunday. Her latest work is In Our Mother's House. Marmee, Meema, and the kids are just like any other family on the block. In their beautiful house, they cook dinner together, they laugh together, and they dance together. But some of the other families don’t accept them. They say they are different. How can a family have two moms and no dad? But Marmee and Meema’s house is full of love. And they teach their children that different doesn’t mean wrong. And no matter how many moms or dads they have, they are everything a family is meant to be. (bookjones)… (mehr)
