The Katha Chest

Asiya enjoys visiting her grandmother, Nanu, and looking through a chest filled with quilts. The quilts hold and depict stories from their family’s past, giving Asiya a way to explore family history with her grandmother. The book follows these visits and the tales connected with the katha chest, where fabric and memory are closely linked. Its focus is on the relationship between a young girl and her grandmother, family stories, and cultural memory carried through quilts.
