Title: Oma's Quilt
First published: 2001
Description:  Emily's grandmother is moving into the Forest View Retirement Home. Leaving her house and neighbors on Maple Street isn't easy after so many years. When Emily goes to visit, she finds Oma sitting in a chair in the corner of her new room. Nothing makes Oma happy. At home, Emily and her mother begin to sort through Oma's boxes. Inside they discover many treasures -- Emily's baby blanket, olden-day dresses, a faded quilt made from Opa's worn-out shirts ... And then, suddenly, Emily has an idea for a special way to make Oma feel at home -- no matter where she may be?
