Beautiful arpilleras!

This book is chock full of beautiful pictures of arpilleras. It has quite a range of the aplique-quilts and they all tell a story. It is also pretty wordy for kids. I used it to introduce arpilleras but paraphrased the text as to not lose the kids interest. It is the best arpillera resource I have found for kids.
