Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt
Autor Deborah Hopkinson Ilustrat de James E. Ransomeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 sep 2018 – vârsta până la 7 ani
As a seamstress in the Big House, Clara dreams of a reunion with her Momma, who lives on another plantation--and even of running away to freedom. Then she overhears two slaves talking about the Underground Railroad. In a flash of inspiration, Clara sees how she can use the cloth in her scrap bag to make a map of the land--a freedom quilt--that no master will ever suspect.
