Description
In this lyrical, family-centered story, a grandmother draws a child into the living history of the Gullah people, weaving together memory, craft, and cultural pride. Through the making of beautiful sweetgrass baskets, the narrative follows how tradition travels—carried from Africa through generations and kept unbroken by hands that know the work and hearts that honor it. Rich with themes of heritage, resilience, and the power of storytelling, the book celebrates community knowledge and the artistry embedded in everyday life. Margot Theis Raven’s warm, accessible style brings history to the page with gentle wonder, inviting readers to see how objects and stories can preserve identity long after the first circle is formed.
