This beautifully-illustrated, softcover book tells the true story of Martha Ann. After a childhood in slavery, Martha Ann's freedom was bought and she moved to a settlement in Liberia that was protected by England under Queen Victoria's rule. Martha Ann dreamed of visiting the queen to thank her for the queen's protection, though many laughed at the idea. She worked to save her money in order to make a beautiful quilt for the queen. Will she realize her dream? - Laura

Martha Ann decides to thank Queen Victoria in person for sending the navy. But first, she has to save money for the voyage, find a suitable gift for the queen, and withstand the ridicule of those who learn of her impossible dream to meet the Queen of England.
