"When my son brought home this book as a prelude to a school project, he wanted to know if he could make a quilt. We both made our first quilts and I've been quilting ever since."
"I love this book! Beautiful message about generosity and our ability to change; excellent illustrations with amazing, captivating detail; well-told story...there's nothing not to like. I appreciate the strong female protagonist who didn't bend to threats or pressure, just kept her positive outlook and maintained her integrity. The pictures are gorgeously colored and add layers and details to the story. A wonderful story for children and adults alike."
"The King has everything and nothing. He is deeply unhappy despite all the money and power in the world. Under the Quiltmaker's mentorship, he learns how to give up all he has and receive true happiness in return.
One unusual and welcome element in this book is the presence of a female spiritual mentor for an apparently powerful male character. The Quiltmaker carries a distinctly non-masculine air of authority about her. She is a great role-model for girls and boys who wish to exert their will in the world without resorting to violence.
The quilts are drawn in strikingly bold colors, and permeate the illustrations overall with an aesthetic of intricacy. Children will notice something new with each reading."
