Maya's Blanket: La manta de Maya

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