Circle unbroken: a story of a basket and its people - Margot Theis Raven

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

With its rhythmic text and evocative paintings, this powerful picture book spirals through time, becoming a triumphant song that keeps the African heritage of making baskets alive--a rich story of a craft, a culture, and a people.

As she teaches her granddaughter to sew a traditional sweetgrass basket, a grandmother weaves a story, going back generations to her grandfather's village in faraway Africa.

There, as a boy, he learned to make baskets so tightly woven they could hold the rain.

Even after being stolen away to a slave ship bound for America, he remembers what he learned and passes these memories on to his children - as they do theirs.
