![]() This book is about a young slave girl named Clara who is taken from her mother and sent to another plantation. Clara got help from people to stitch together a map in the form of a quilt, and she then used the quilt to help people find freedom, which demonstrates that helping others and having hope will help you reach your goals. ![]() ![]() I liked the big idea of this story, which is to help those around you and to have hope. It was encouraging to ultimately use her developed skill to help people escape slavery. “She wasn’t my for-real blood aunt, but she did her best to care for me.” Although this book is based on historical events, readers may find Clara to be a relatable character, since when she first tried something new (sewing), she was not very good at it, but she continuously got better with practice. ![]() Themes of the importance of family and friends were present in the book, such as Clara’s relationship with Aunt Rachel. It has a really good plot, which is about a girl who uses her skills to escape slavery and find freedom in the North. Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt is a historical fiction book about a young girl named Clara who was a slave. ![]()
