In the weeks before Hanukkah, Rifka Katz makes her way to her favorite yarn shop and selects what she always selects: Peaches and Crème cotton in National Blue and White. The colors of the Israeli flag. The colors her grandmother Perl Katz carried out of Poland when she had almost nothing else.
Round by round, stitch by stitch, Rifka crochets three potholders for her three daughters, the same pattern passed down through three generations of women who understood that small things add up. When her grandson Daniel asks why the flag is blue and white, Rifka finds herself reaching back through history to answer him, from a village in Poland that no longer exists to a kitchen in Brooklyn to this warm house full of latkes and rugelach and candlelight.The Color of the Flag is a tender, quietly powerful story about heritage, memory, and the way a family keeps its history alive one small act of love at a time.
