Theme: A legacy is passed from one generation to another, connecting the past with the present and the future.
A carousel is the backdrop for this sensitive story about sisters who search for memories of their mother's legacy.
LeVar explores the power of tradition as we join a quilt maker, who is passing on the tradition to her grandniece, and we meet a man who, with the help of Harlem school children, is rebuilding a carousel in the community.
