Synopsis by Alice Day
In this program, the featured book by Liz Rosenberg concerns two siblings coping with the loss of their mother. As they reminisce, her legacy is revealed. Host LeVar Burton explores the topic of legacies with a group of youngsters and meets a woman who plans to teach her art of quilt-making to her grandniece. A man is refurbishing a carousel, assisted by young kids, and plans to donate it to his community. Reading Rainbow: The Carousel is another highly effective program in the series devoted to impressing upon young children the importance of reading.
