Whoever said men aren’t good at planning ahead for giving was wrong, it seems. I just filled orders for quilts for the two of the five grandchild of a British man who lives in Switzerland. His grandchildren are spread out across Europe, so keeping them close emotionally is a challenge.
His plan is to use the Storybook Quilts to help strengthen the bond not only with his grandchildren, but also with their parents. He now has two “on hand” for use when he’s ready — perhaps for Christmas, perhaps for a birthday, perhaps on a visit. Smart man!
Here’s what he now has ready to go: Amos the Bear and DanZy the Rabbit.

The stories
Amos is a very special teddy bear, as you can tell by his big red heart. In the story, Josh goes to the zoo with his grandfather and his teddy bear, Amos. When no one is watching, Amos disappears! The zoo keeper is so unhelpful that Josh goes off on his own to find Amos. Grandpa is worried; while the zoo staff look for Josh, he waits at the office in case Josh comes back. Josh does return to his grandfather and the two of them solve the mystery. They find Amos in a most surprising place!
DanZy is a hip-hopping rabbit who seeks his life’s dream. In the story, Olivia meets DanZy when he is a little bunny living in the park next to her house. DanZy is not an ordinary bunny and does not want an ordinary bunny’s life. He wants to be somebunny! DanZy tries several different jobs, but what he really wants to be is the bunny that jumps out of a magician’s hat! He’s a brown rabbit, though, and magician’s rabbits usually are white. Does he make it? And how? And what does Olivia learn?
Order your DanZy or Amos, or any of our other themes, and be ready yourself! www.storybookquilts.biz
