LITTLE ONE, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER

 (“Pequeña, madre, abuela”) | Maria & Ana Sender | Akiara, Spain | 40 pp | 28 x 24 cm

Grandmother sings stories, tells songs. Her fingers are like branches, dancing and weaving the characters of her stories, which remain intertwined in the quilt. There is hardly any room left for more stories in the quilt… “One, two, three,” whispers grandmother, counting as she weaves. One, two, three, my girl, my love, my little dove. One, two, three, Little One, Mother, Grandmother. One, two, three, the three of us, my life. One, two, three, the three of us who are all. This story is a tribute from two granddaughters to their grandmother. It is a song to generational transmission and the legacy of women who keep folk wisdom alive.
