Title: Grew up with this book
Review: I grew up reading this book over and over again at my Grandmother's house. It is the story of a young Quaker girl in Philadelphia in the 1800s. She hates her Quaker bonnet because it is black and plain, while her best friend, Cecelia (not Quaker), gets to wear pretty blue bonnets with flowers--the style of the day. Her mother scolds her for not taking better care of her bonnet and being proud of her Quaker religion. One day, while walking by the docks, Hannah is pulled aside by a black woman in hiding. She asks her to tell her family where she is and to get help. The woman says "I knew I could trust you by your Quaker bonnet." Hannah returns home, they rescue the woman through the Underground Railroad, and she is proud to be a Quaker! The illustrations on this edition are lush and warm, as well.
