//**Show Way**// by Jacqueline Woodson



//Show Way// is a wonderfully written and illustrated picture book about its author, Jacqueline Woodson's, female family members and their progression through slavery to freedom. It begins with Soonie's great-grandmother being sold into slavery and moves along with the next generations of women in Woodson's family. The women began making quilts they called Show Ways. These Show Ways had North Star and Crossroad patches were represented a map to freedom for slaves. Each woman passed the Show Way tradition to the next until Woodson adopted the tradition as well and wrote the book as a "Show Way" for her daughter, Toshi, to learn about and remember her heritage.
