Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Quilt Counting
Lesa Cline-Ransome · 2002
78/100
👍 Worth It
Counting up to ten gathering quilt materials, then counting back down as the stitching comes together — it's a simple structure that actually earns its mechanics because the subject, a multigenerational quilting session, gives the numbers genuine emotional texture. James Ransome's illustrations are the real draw here, bringing warmth and visual richness to African American family life that lifts this well above the average counting board book.
