The Patchwork Path: A Quilt Map to Freedom

32 pp. | Candlewick | January, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2423-3 $15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Erin Susanne Bennett. A young girl and her father combine the code embedded in a patchwork quilt pattern with several clues on their journey to guide them to freedom. The well-written first-person narrative and somber oil illustrations sensitively portray the dangerous trip. The code is illustrated and explained within the text; the afterword provides background information that adds authenticity to the story.
