Soonie''s great-grandma was just seven years old 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 for
slaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a little
girl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie
-- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sew
beautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read. From slavery
to freedom, through segregation, freedom marches and the fight for
literacy, the tradition they called Show Way has been passed down
by the women in Jacqueline Woodson''s family as a way to remember
the past and celebrate the possibilities of the future. Beautifully
rendered in Hudson Talbott''s luminous art, this moving, lyrical
account pays tribute to women whose strength and knowledge
illuminate their daughters'' lives.
