Publisher's Synopsis
Many children today are faced with identity issues that develop in grade school years. Fitting into cultural norms due to mix ethnic backgrounds can leave a child feeling confused and isolated by peers. The author, Jamila A. White displays diversity through a blanket made of many colors from which Kara, the main character's grandmother knitted for her to represent her mixed heritage. The blanket symbolizes different cultural lines coming together by the display of one blanket. Kara's identity and self-esteem is encouraged and expressed by the display of love and action through God's word through the sharing of her blanket with her classmates. This book is a great read for all ages. It represents the world we currently know and live in today. Only through love can we live in peace and harmony with one another.
