Young Carla is a ten-year-old girl at Yosemite Elementary School battling cancer. She is also an ice skating student of Mrs. Moon, who is putting together a healing quilt with the help of Carla's classmates in the hopes it will bring Carla some comfort during her difficult chemotherapy treatments.

Mrs. Moon asks the children to submit quilt blocks, and she receives quilt blocks of various animals: a lion, alligator, crab, centipede, octopus, and many more. As Carla sends updates on her cancer treatment to Mrs. Moon, the animals magically come to life whenever the ice-skating teacher leaves the sewing room. With each creature taking on the personality of the classmate who created them, the group engages in a wide variety of activities-tangling with a sewing machine, ice skating on a cutting table, and even clashing with a mischievous pack rat, all while working together to overcome their own personal issues.

Based on the true story of a young girl's battle with cancer and interwoven with an exciting fantasy adventure, The Healing Quilt is both inspiring and educational as it follows Carla's struggle against her illness while addressing many of the social issues commonly found in every schoolyard.

Carol Johnson lived in Yosemite National Park for thirty years, where she and her husband raised their two children. She completed her BA in psychology in 2003 and earned her master's degree in social work in 2006. She became a licensed clinical social worker in 2009 and is currently a mental health supervisor at Central California Women's Facility. She resides in the foothills of the Sierras, just outside of Yosemite, and she enjoys spending time with her children, grandchildren, and husband of thirty-three years.

Leah Carlson was born and raised in Yosemite National Park. Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of ten, she underwent cancer treatment for two-and-a-half years and is currently in remission. Last year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfilled her wish to visit the Galápagos Islands, where she was able to snorkel with marine iguanas and see Galápagos tortoises.
