"The Whispering Cloth: A Refugee's Story" by Pegi Deitz Shea tells the poignant tale of a young girl named Nima, who is a refugee escaping the war in her homeland. As she journeys to safety in a new country, Nima discovers a rich cultural tradition of storytelling through textiles. With the help of her grandmother's handmade quilts, she learns to express her experiences and emotions, weaving her memories and dreams into each patch. The story highlights the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of family and heritage, and the healing power of art in the face of adversity.
