Book Review: Cassie's Word Quilt
Summary: 3 Stars
"Cassie's Word Quilt" provides an introduction to the well-loved world created by Faith Ringgold in "Tar Beach". It uses the motif of quilts to break up the page into grids into which familiar objects are portrayed and labeled. It is as though we sat with Cassie on her quilt on Tar Beach and pointed out various objects in her world while she named them and told us how they fit in the mosaic that, when completed, describes the world of her home and neighborhood. "Cassie's Word Quilt" has more value as a companion to "Tar Beach" than a stand alone because it lacks a narrative thread. Faith Ringgold's powerful illustrative style effectively conveys the sights, sounds, and flavor of Cassie's Tar Beach neighborhood.
