In "The Quiltmaker's Gift" by Jeff Brumbeau, a generous quiltmaker lives in a cozy cottage on a hill, making beautiful quilts to give to those in need. One day, a wealthy king learns of her talents and demands a quilt for himself. The quiltmaker, however, refuses to sell her creations for personal gain. Determined to change her mind, the king embarks on a journey of self-discovery and learns about the joy of giving rather than receiving. Through enchanting illustrations and a heartfelt narrative, the story beautifully illustrates the power of generosity and the true meaning of happiness.
