PRODUCT SUMMARY
From the critically acclaimed,
Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series,
Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Valerie Flournoy. Using scraps cut from the family's old clothing, a young girl learns the secret ingredient in her grandma's special quilt of memories. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton visits the Balducci Family Food Store and learns about the family business, and children at the Boston Children's Museum make a quilt from supplies found at the Recycle Store.
The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
