Just A Quilt?, lovingly told by Dalen Keys and beautifully illustrated by one of my favorite designers, Kim Sponaugle, is one of the sweetest children’s books I’ve ever read. My daughter Julia read it aloud to me; how easy it was to be drawn into the words and pictures! A snapshot into a tender moment, the storybook reveals the bond between mother and son that cannot be broken. Goosebumps broke out as I looked at the “forehead to forehead” illustration – how special a moment. Keys and Sponaugle capture that bond well.
The story line revolves around a quilt’s true meaning to a little boy, a quilt his mommy made him. It’s not just an everyday blanket to him; it’s so much more. I love this story and I enjoyed the illustrations just as much. Buy the book; if they have an imagination, your kids will love it. – Gena Suarez, Publisher, The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, LLC

“Chase,” Mommy called.
“It’s time to leave for Grandma’s house.”
Chase charged into the kitchen
with his backpack and suitcase.
“Okay, Mommy, I’m ready!”
“Did you pack everything I laid out for you?”
Chase nodded.
“Yup, I packed everything.” As Mommy set her cup of coffee in the saucer, she saw the corner of Chase’s favorite quilt sticking out of his backpack. “Did you pack your quilt too?” Mommy asked.
Chase frowned. “But Mommy, I don’t have a quilt!”
Mommy’s eyebrows raised in surprise. “You don’t?”
“Nope,” Chase said with a little grin. “You might think I have a quilt, Mommy,” Chase said. “But really, it’s a busy, busy airport for all my airplanes.” “I don’t have a quilt. I have a huge race track for my fast cars.” “When I’m a superhero – I have my cape.” “When I’m fighting huge fire-breathing dragons, I have my thick armor to protect me.”
