Story Rug

Braiding has taken elementary school class 203 by storm—they're even braiding shoelaces! But Noah doesn't have anything to braid. His teacher tears a classroom rag into strips, which become the start of a long braid. When Noah reaches the end of the rags, he adds strips of his dad's old shirt. Gradually, the rest of the class joins in with all kinds of fabric from home. When they're finished braiding, the colorful rug is much more than just a rug. It tells the story of Sadie's curtains, Sam's baby blanket, and Meena's nani's sari. This sweet story has colorful illustrations by Phoebe Wahl (Little Witch Hazel) and includes instructions on how to make your own rag rug!
