(2) K-3 In this sort-of prequel to The Keeping Quilt, Polacco's great-grandmother Anna and her family are forced to leave Russia during the pogroms. They take with them a treasured "magic" tea set: "Anyone who drinks from it has a blessing from God." The understated telling is beautifully supported and extended in art rendered in soft gray pencil that harkens back to Polacco's early work.
