Description
Every stitch tells a story Stitched Together invites readers to journey with the narrator as she pursues a secret wish--to add a square to her church's special anniversary quilt. She ponders the faith practices of her church community that are important to her and learns from her grandmother's quilting circle about the history of their faith. Together with her church community, the young girl discovers the rich tapestry of stories woven into each quilt square and the power of shared stories. Stitched Together is a delightful tale of tradition, friendship, and the joy of making something meaningful together.

And it makes space for the voices of those who will become the new leaders of the Anabaptist tradition. Suggested reading for ages 5-9.
