Story Rug

From two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall and beloved artist Phoebe Wahl comes a beautiful story about storytelling, creativity, and the joy of making something together.

The children of Class 203 are learning to braid. First, they practice with hair and shoelaces. Then they bring scraps of fabric from home, adding piece after piece as their braid grows longer. Before long, one simple idea turns their growing braid into a wonderful surprise for their teacher.

The Rag Rug tells the story of a handmade rug woven not only from colourful scraps, but also from the memories and stories behind them. As the children work together, their rug becomes a special place for the whole class to gather, share stories, and make new memories.

The book also includes easy-to-follow instructions for making your own rag rug, making it an especially lovely invitation to put the story into practice.
