Most Loved in All the World
What's This Book About
An authentic and powerful account of slavery and how a handmade quilt helps a little girl leave home for freedom. With a poet’s keen ear, Tonya Hegamin tells the account of a little girl whose mother is a secret agent on the Underground Railroad. Before sending her daughter north to freedom, the mother sews a quilt for her daughter, not only to guide her with its symbols of moss and the north star, but also to remind her always that the smiling girl in the center of the quilt is “most loved in all the world.” Strikingly illustrated in unique textile collaging and expressive acrylic paintings.
