The Quiltmaker's Gift | Jeff Brumbeau, Gail De Marcken

4 ⭐This book may be a little long, but the story is heartfelt. It is about a selfish king who wants presents and gifts from everybody. The one present he can‘t have is a quilt from the lady in the mountains. She only makes quilts for people who can‘t afford them. She tells the king give of yourself and I will make you a quilt. The king will not do this. Instead, he punishes the old lady and in turn just punishes himself.

LibrarianRyan This book does have a happy ending and is simply lovely. The illustrations are classic, and so is the story. I see this book being handed down from “maker to “maker as they share the love conjunctions. 7mo

Although sensibilities have obviously changed since 1974, particularly with regard to James's relationships with his “favourites“, it was still an interesting read and particularly informative about his time in Scotland before inheriting the English throne

King & King is a great child's book that touches on important issues such as LGBTQ+ representation. This is a spin on a classic tale and i absolutely adored this read! It gives such a great message and could open amazing discussions about inclusivity. This book is a great book to have in your classroom library for all ages!

King and King was written by Linda de Haan and Stern Nijland in 2000. This is a wonderful book that teaches diversity in the classroom. It is about a prince being forced to find a princess to marry and after looking at many princesses, he falls in love with another prince. This book has not won any awards, but I still highly recommend for a classroom read aloud!

King and King is a modern fairy tale about a King who needs to find his Queen. He is on the hunt to find the perfect queen, but none of them seem to meet his expectations, until one of the contestants brothers shows up with her. When the King sees the brother, he immediately understand why he could not find the right Queen. It was because he wanted a King by his side. After they get married and live happily ever after.
