Christmas Tapestry

Christmas Tapestry is a 2002 picture book written and illustrated by Patricia Polacco.

The story is about how a Christian family help a long-separated Jewish couple reunite during the Christmas season.

When Jonathan's father, who is a Baptist preacher, moves to Detroit, he has to learn to adjust to a new town.
