review 1: Absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking story! I couldn't imagine giving up my child, yet so many slaves did give up their children during this time in the hopes that their child would know freedom! The illustrations are gorgeous, so touching, especially the ones of the mother sitting in front of the fire stitching a quilt for her daughter after working from sun up to sun down picking cotton. Genre-historical fiction. C-2008
review 2: this was such a good story. i just flipped through it with the intention of putting it down, but it was really touching. it is a story about a girl and her mother, both of which are slaves at the time of the black slave trade, and the story is told through the eyes of the girl, who is very young and doesnt really grasp the realit
... morey of the situation. she just knows that her mother works hard in the fields and that she helps her by rubbing some salve in them at night. her mother makes quilt patches throughout the story and at the end makes a quilt for her daughter. the story ends with the mother giving the daughter to group of people in the underground railroad so that she’ll maybe have a better life somewhere else. it was pretty sad, but good. less

Heartbreaking and uplifting. The acrylic and textile collage illustrations are very effective.
