As rhythmic as the motion of a shuttle and as vibrant as hand-dyed threads, this poetic picture book written by beloved children’s book author, Katie Howes and illustrated by Dinara Mirtalipova traces the story of weaving across continents and through generations. Guided by a young girl learning the art of weaving in her family’s tradition, readers are invited to discover how this age-old craft connects us to our ancestors and carries our stories forward.

Woven of the World is more than a tribute to the craft itself, this richly illustrated and lyrical narrative is a reflection on heritage, creativity, and identity. Weaving becomes a powerful metaphor for how each of us is a living tapestry, made of diverse threads, shaped by history and experience, and evolving into something new and beautiful.
