Aneesa Lee would sooner weave than anything - A scarf in winter or lacy shawl in spring, a band of satin ribbon for her hair, a belt of turguoise cotton cord to wear.
Aneesa softly hums and weaves away the minutes and the hours of the day, and rolls the cloth of time upon her loom till yards of night unfold inside her room.
Poet Nikki Grimes and artist Ashley Bryan weave thirteen interrelated poems and radiant illustrations into an intricate celebration of the ancient art of cloth making. But this is more than a book about weaving. It is a joyful exploration of how love and hard work can mesh together separate threads or colors or people into a harmonious whole.
