Under The Quilt Of Night

Under The Quilt Of Night

BY DEBORAH HOPKINSON, ILLUSTRATED BY JAMES RANSOME
Dramatic oil paintings and compelling verse-like prose combine to portray the harsh yet hopeful experience of travel along the Underground Railroad. Hopkinson and Ransome revisit the theme of their first collaboration, Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. This time readers journey the precarious trail to freedom with a young runaway as she escapes to Canada via clandestine routes and dangerous nighttime treks. Ransome fills in the characterizations with portraits that convey a strong familial connection and the kindness of the conductors along the way. Ages 5-10.-Publishers Weekly
