I thought of another one I personally love (boys may not, yet, but it ALWAYS makes me cry b/c it is so beautifully written - I used it last year in 2nd grade as an excellent example of description...both the assistant and I were crying at the end which I'm sure made more of an impact than the words. It will be perfect for you since the mom in the story has 2 sons.) It's called I Love You the Purplest.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139019503113115629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7851695.post-29466702354843703782011-01-20T21:15:00.940-05:002011-01-20T21:15:00.940-05:00the books i am talking about were just patterned c...the books i am talking about were just patterned cloth--kind og like quilt blocks made into books. they had busy brightly colored fabrics--so like one page would be fruit, the next stars, the next little robots, the next flowers, etc. there were no stories or primary images anywhere--it was just lots of colors and patterns, and he LOVED them. i have other cloth books that are just books that happen to be soft, but none of them have had the same appeal. i've looked EVERYWHERE, even on etsy--i think i just need to make my own.

We had a collection of cloth books (filled with batting)that were sold at our church bazaar...I know that doesn't help you immediately, but maybe you can look for similar events where older women would be crafting...gosh, that really doesn't sound very nice, does it?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139019503113115629noreply@blogger.com
