Demetri is searching for special memories! As his birthday approaches, Demetri feels excited to celebrate with his grandma, TÃa Alanna, and cousin Adla. However, he misses his mom and wishes she was there with him. Luckily, Grandma has an idea to bring them together using a needle and thread.
Demetri Makes a Memory Quilt tells the story of a young boy whose mom is in prison. With the help of his family, he embarks on a creative healing process and explores ways to connect with his mom. Inspired by the author's career in early childhood literacy and community-based alternatives to incarceration, this heartwarming picture book includes:
- Rich and engaging vocabulary
- Dignified characters and relationships
- Social Emotional Learning (SEL), such as:
- Models of how to handle big emotions
- Empathy-building opportunities for all children
This book was made possible with generous support from the Bay Area Inspire Awards, a community initiative administered by the Philanthropic Ventures Foundation, to support children and families impacted by incarceration.
