My Two Blankets | Irena Kobald
4 posts | 4 read
Cartwheel moves to a new country with her auntie, and everything is strange: the animals, the plantseven the wind. An old blanket gives Cartwheel comfort when shes sadand a new blanket just might change her world. This multicultural story of friendship is about leaving home, moving to a foreign and strange place, and finding a new friend. It's a story for all who have experienced change. Irena Kobalds poetic text, paired with Kate Greenaway medalist Freya Blackwood's powerful paintings, renders an emotional and heart-warming story about two children from diverse backgrounds coming together to become new friends.

#SeasonsReadings Day 15: The first book that came to mind with #BookAndBlankie. This book is emotionally stirring, its authenticity keenly felt as the narrative goes beyond trite phrases or well-meaning intentions to educate, moralize, or drive home a particular agenda. It is simply a story of two girls who found each other and the two blankets that constitute one‘s being. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-cb8

I was totally awestruck as I listened to Irena Kobald talk about her book 'My Two Blankets'. It is such a beautiful story about the refugee/immigrant experience, friendship & learning a new language. 😍

Here are a couple of book-themed blankets I saw on Etsy, great for snuggling up while reading indoors. 🍂🍁
A Literary Travel Poster blanket and Sherlock Holmes Doorframe blanket. 👍👍

This is a gentle immigration story using the metaphor of a blanket for the community and memories surrounding us. Great read for young grade schoolers.
