Bookroo's summary

A young girl receives a quilt stitched with pieces of her past—baby pajamas, a birthday shirt, and fabric from her beloved stuffed dog. Each square holds a memory, inviting her to explore dreams and reminiscences. As she lies awake, the quilt becomes a tapestry of her childhood, weaving stories and emotions into her night. How can she sleep when her past is so vividly alive? What dreams will these cherished fragments inspire?

From the publisher

The new quilt is finished, and what a quilt it is! Here is a square from the proud owner’s baby pajamas, and one from the shirt she wore on her second birthday. There is even a square of the same material from which her mother made her stuffed dog Sally. How can she possibly sleep when there is so much to look at, and remember, and dream about . . . ?
