Bookroo's summary
A young girl embarks on a perilous journey to freedom, guided by a quilt sewn by her mother, a secret agent on the Underground Railroad. Each stitch and symbol on the quilt holds the promise of safety and the reminder of her mother's love. As she navigates the treacherous path north, the girl must decipher the quilt's hidden messages while grappling with the weight of her mother's sacrifice. Will the quilt's guidance be enough to lead her to freedom, or will the dangers of the journey prove too great? Discover the power of love and courage in this moving tale.
From the publisher
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.
