I Lay My Stitches Down: Poems of American Slavery by Cynthia Grady

3.0

I Lay My Stitches Down is a book of verse of American slavery. Each poem is based on a quilt pattern and includes three references: biblical/spiritual, musical and a sewing/fiber arts. It could have been better if it had included what all these references where instead of just a few. Overall, a tome that would be well-suited for older elementary students.
