Woven of the World - EN

As rhythmic as the swish of a loom, and as vibrant as a skein of brightly dyed wool, this lyrical
picture book shares the history and practice of weaving through the centuries and around the world,
as imagined by a young weaver learning her craft. Her family’s weaving practice helps her feel
connected to the past and hopeful for the future. It shows her that each of us is a tapestry: a
unique, rich, and beautifully interwoven combination of traits and traditions, with a pattern that is still
emerging.
At once a celebration of a time-honored art and a meditation on the ways we are interconnected,
this artfully woven narrative gathers the threads of weaving as a technical skill, a cultural tradition,
and as a metaphor for how our lives are knit together, into a radiantly intertwined whole.
