Maya\'s Blanket/La Manta de Maya charmingly brings to life this celebration creativity, recycling, and enduring family love..
Inspired by the traditional Yiddish folk song Hob Ikh Mir a Mantl (I Had a Little Coat), this delightful bilingual picture book puts a child-focused, Latino spin on the tale of an item that is made into smaller and smaller items.
When Maya grows up, she shares her book--Maya\'s Blanket/La Manta de Maya--with her own little daughter while snuggled under her own special blanket.
But when Maya loses her bookmark, she preserves her memories by creating a book about her adventures and love of these items.
Each item has special, magical, meaning for Maya; it animates her adventures, protects her, or helps her in some way.
Over time the dress is made into a skirt, a shawl, a scarf, a hair ribbon, and finally, a bookmark.
As Maya grows, her blanket becomes worn and frayed, so with Grandma\'s help, Maya makes it into a dress.
Little Maya has a special blanket that Grandma stitched with her own two hands.
Based on a Yiddish folk song, a young girl\'s cherished baby blanket becomes old and worn over time and she finds new ways to use it as she grows up.
