The Quiltmaker's Gift (age 5+) for beautiful illustrations and an artful story with an important life lesson.

A few years ago the youth group in my church wanted to have a baby shower for our associate pastor. Since she was having many other showers, we decided to make it a "book shower." Each teen brought a new copy of whatever THEIR favorite book was growing up -- something they remembered a parent or loved one reading to them. And they wrote notes inside the bookcovers, explaining why it was their favorite. The result was a very special book collection that will be treasured by that family for years to come.

Fabulous wrap-up! I've been covering High Point for 20+ years and you showed me things I've never seen. (How'd I miss that shrimp fountain?) You are doing an awesome job of sharing the excitment of this incredible market with the online world. Come back in the fall!
