Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt

The quilt is such a powerful symbol, and I wonder what inspired the choice to use it as a means of communication and hope for Clara.

Her courage really stood out to me, but I also wondered if younger readers might see her as a hero or if they'd connect differently.

The idea that quilts could be secret messages or symbols of hope is fascinating, and I'm curious whether this was based on specific historical stories or research.
