FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description As rhythmic as the swish of a loom, and as vibrant as a skein of brightly dyed wool, this lyrical picture book shares the history and practice of weaving through the centuries and around the world, as imagined by a young weaver learning her craft. Her familys weaving practice helps her feel connected to the past and hopeful for the future. It shows her that each of us is a tapestry: a unique, rich, and beautifully interwoven combination of traits and traditions, with a pattern that is still emerging. At once a celebration of a time-honored art and a meditation on the ways we are interconnected, this artfully woven narrative gathers the threads of weaving as a technical skill, a cultural tradition, and as a metaphor for how our lives are knit together, into a radiantly intertwined whole.

An exceptional ode...." -- Kirkus, starred review"Katey Howess lyrical verse follows an adult woman and a young girl through the warp of time and the woof of space as they illuminate the threads that bind us." --The New York Times"Paralleling the intricate patterns discussed, Howess rhythmically woven verse layers poetry and onomatopoeia. The beauty of decoration and embellishment, the multiplicity of practices, and the way knowledge is passed across generations and cultures are all celebrated in this story "of ties that bind us, one and all, / no matter where we stand." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Details ISBN1452178062 Author Dinara Mirtalipova Pages 44 Publisher Chronicle Books Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1452178062 ISBN-13 9781452178066 Format Hardcover Imprint Chronicle Books Place of Publication San Francisco Country of Publication United States Publication Date 2023-02-16 NZ Release Date 2023-02-16 US Release Date 2023-02-16 UK Release Date 2023-02-16 DEWEY 813.6 Audience Children / Juvenile Audience Age 5-8 AU Release Date 2023-01-31 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
