This is the story about Luka a Hawaiian girl and her grandmother who took care of her while her parents worked. They were very good friends until one day her grandmother decide to make her a quilt. Luka was hoping for a colorful quilt with many flowers on it but was disappointed when her grandmother made her a green and white quilt. After that they where no longer friendly to each other until one day Luka's grandmother asked for a truce and they went to a festival where they both decide to respect their truce. After they left the festival Luka felt good like she had before the quilt. The next morning her grandmother decided to make her the quilt she wanted on one side of the existing quilt so she could have both. Luka was so happy and thankful to her grandmother. They became friends again.
I would use this book in my classroom because it is a nicely Illustrated book and the children would like it. I would read it aloud to the class and maybe afterward we would make a quilt craft using construction paper. This would be a good book for Kindergarten through 2nd grade.
