Nelly’s Quilt is the third book we have in the Pelican series. My granddaughter, a first grader, was delighted with her new book! She was able to read it to me almost completely by herself.

This book gave us conversations about sharing, kindness to others, art and photography, and sewing a colorful quilt.
