In the threads of a quilt lies a story of resilience, a path to freedom intricately woven by the hands of Soonie's great-grandma, a young girl sold away to a plantation, armed with nothing but fabric and needles. "Show Way" tells the poignant tale of generations of women who stitched their courage and dreams into quilts that served as secret maps for slaves yearning for freedom. Through Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical prose, we journey from the dark days of slavery to the triumphant steps toward civil rights, guided by the enduring legacy of quilts that symbolize strength, knowledge, and the undying hope for a better future. Jacqueline Woodson, with the tender illustrations of Hudson Talbott, crafts a narrative that is both a heartrending reminder of America's fraught history and a celebratory ode to the unbreakable spirit of its people. "Show Way" is more than a story; it's a testament to the power of heritage and the indomitable will of women who, generation after generation, pass down the light of freedom and the art of survival. This book is a touching tribute to the invisible threads that connect us to our past and the luminous paths they light towards our future.
