This touching tale explores the bonds of family and the power of tradition.

From the publisher

This heartfelt picture book about the love shared between generations–and the traditions that bind them–shows how a grandfather teaches his grandchild to weave a beautiful rug. Rose’s Baba joon (her grandfather) loves three things most in the world: His loom, where he weaves fine rugs for family and friends; his garden; and most of all, Rose! When Rose decides she wants to weave her own rug – its design inspired by a drawing she made of their garden–Baba is thrilled to teach her. Working side-by-side at the loom, grandfather and granddaughter tie colorful strands of yarn into thousands of knots. But just as the rug slowly begins to take shape, Baba falls ill. Rose knows one thing that will make him feel better: a beautiful – and finished! – garden rug. But will she be able to weave the rest of the rug on her own? This tender portrait of a young girl and her grandfather is a moving tribute to the joy of learning from someone you love.
