Description
Illus. in full color. "Winter's story begins with a peg-leg sailor who aids
slaves on their escape on the Underground Railroad. While working for
plantation owners, Peg Leg Joe teaches the slaves a song about the drinking
gourd (the Big Dipper). A couple, their son, and two others make their escape
by following the song's directions. Rich paintings interpret the strong story
in a clean, primitive style enhanced by bold colors. The rhythmic compositions
have an energetic presence that's compelling. A fine rendering of history in
picturebook format."--(starred) "Booklist.
