Join us and author Tonya Hegamin as she reads from her children’s book, Most Loved in All the World, an authentic and powerful account of slavery and how a handmade quilt helps a little girl leave home for freedom. With a poet’s keen ear, Hegamin tells the story of a little girl whose mother is a secret agent on the underground railroad. Before sending her daughter north to freedom, the mother sews her a quilt that both guides her with symbols and reminds her that the smiling girl in the center of the quilt is “most loved in all the world.” The book is strikingly illustrated in unique textile-collage and expressive acrylic paintings.
