Amazon.com description: Product Description:
When Granny Judith asks twelve-year-old Christmas John to row Molly, cookâs daughter, across the river from Kentucky to the Free State of Ohio, heâs terrified. Bravely, he begins the first of many journeys. Each time he returns, Granny Judith asks what color clothing his passenger wore, for sheâs had a dream-vision and is making a quilt from squares of these âfreedom colors.â When there are only two squares left, she tells him, âDream says we got to get ourselves over the river, âcause the dangerâs gonna grow awful.â
Â
This compelling story, powerfully and poignantly illustrated, is a memorable celebration of courage, hope, and unselfish love.
