Polacco, Patricia Christmas Tapestry. Puffin (Penguin), 2002, paperback, 2008. PICTURE BOOK.
EL - ESSENTIAL
A young man is heartbroken when his preacher father takes a job in a rundown church in Detroit, far from his home of Tennessee. The family is busy with preparations for the Christmas program, but a trip to town on a snowy night throws them together with a little old lady who recognizes a tapestry the pair just purchased. On Christmas Eve the plasterer arrives to help repair the church and also recognizes the tapestry as the one his young bride made for their wedding, but they were separated during the Holocaust. Suddenly, Jonathan understands why his family moved when they did.
Sorry that I gave the whole thing away, but I didn't want to be mysterious. This is a perfect little Christmas story to add to a collection.
