Show Way

BY JACUELINE WOODSON, HUDSON TALBOT

Brief Description:
Soonie's great-grandma was just 7 when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, and with only some fabric and needles to call her own. She pieced together bright patches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches with secret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways-maps to follow to freedom. When she grew up, she passed on this knowledge and Show Way has been passed down by all the women in Jacqueline Woodson's family Beautifully rendered in Hudson Talbott's luminous art, this moving, lyrical account pays tribute to women whose strength and knowledge illuminate their daughters' lives. Ages 4-8 ish.
