    Stitching Together Stories of Freedom and Courage

    Discover the extraordinary courage and resilience of formerly enslaved women and men who changed the course of history through their acts of bravery during the Underground Railroad era.

    Written and illustrated by textile artist Sandra Scott-Revelle, this middle-grade book transforms historical accounts into vivid, accessible stories that help readers ages eight through twelve understand the complex realities of enslavement, survival, and the Underground Railroad. Working with personal accounts from the Works Progress Administration and William Still's The Underground Railroad, Scott-Revelle shows the bravery and sacrifices of people who fought for freedom—not only for themselves but for others as well.

    What you'll find in Threads of Freedom:

    • Over twenty figures from history featured, from well-known figures like Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth to lesser-known ones like Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, Charles Gilbert, Arnold Gragston, and the Still family

    • Unique textile art illustrations created by the author, a professional quilter and textile artist

    • Historical context and background to help readers understand complex historical periods

    • Underground Railroad map for geographic reference and learning

    • Comprehensive glossary to support vocabulary development and comprehension

    • Educational resource perfect for homeschooling, classroom use, and independent reading

    This book invites readers to listen carefully to voices that have too often gone unheard. It is perfect for readers interested in Black history, the Underground Railroad, folk art, and stories of overcoming obstacles, and it is an invaluable resource for librarians, social studies teachers, and educators seeking entry-level books that present the time period from enslaved people's perspectives.

    Threads of Freedom aims to start readers on a journey of discovery, stretch their curiosity, and inspire their creativity. By weaving these often-forgotten narratives into their own understanding, readers do more than just learn history; they walk alongside those who lived it, honoring their sacred journeys with the compassion and listening their stories have always deserved.
