Product Information
It's late at night, and Frederick's mother has traveled twelve miles to visit him. When Frederick asks Mama how she can walk so far, Mama recounts her journey mile by mile. Every step of the way is special, as it brings them closer together; and Mama passes the time by remembering, listening, praying, singing, and more. Set on a plantation in 1820s Maryland, this story based on the life of young Frederick Douglass shows the power of his mother's love. The faith she has in her son puts him on a path to escape enslavement and to become a champion of human rights, an influential writer and speaker, and an unforgettable leader. Expressive, candlelit paintings illuminate the bond between parent and child in this heartfelt story. Love Twelve Miles Long will resonate with children of all backgrounds who cherish the tender moments they share with those they love.

Reviews
"Share this with young readers as a series of homilies on dreams and a family love strong enough to overcome any adversity." -- Kirkus Reviews "As an ode to the love a mother has for her son, it is sweetly successful." -- School Library Journal Bootman's beautiful, double-page watercolor spreads show mother and son together in the candlelit kitchen, Bailey as a strong woman at work in the cornfields, and finally on her long, tough, moonlit journey, during which, she tells her son, each mile is special... Starting with the boy's elemental question, "Mama, why can't I live with you?," the words and pictures tell the family separation story in all its heartbreak and hope. -- Booklist Inspired by the childhood of Frederick Douglass, Armand's debut reveals a poignant conversation between young Frederick and his mother, paired with Bootman's arresting and emotive paintings...Armand's narrative smoothly transitions between each of Mama's preoccupations: "I pray that one day we will all be free. And all that praying makes me feel like singing." Bootman (A Storm Called Katrina) deftly uses candlelight and moonlight to give his art a lovely iridescence, and presents intimate portraits of mother and son. -- Publishers Weekly "This poignant story, based on Frederick Douglass's childhood, tells how his mother, a slave, would walk twelve miles at night for a brief visit with her son. Soothing text describes how she overcomes the monotony and loneliness through songs (joyful and sad), the solace of prayer, and love. Emotional paintings capture moods, especially the joy of reunion that wipes away weariness." -- The Horn Book In a story brimming with hope and love, the real-life horrors of slavery lie elsewhere, where an older audience can grapple with them. The author's note gives additional information about Frederick Douglass, who changed his surname in order to obscure his identity from the master he escaped. Douglass wrote that his mother, Harriet Bailey, taught him a powerful lesson: that he was not "only a child but somebody's child." How remarkable that she accomplished this under such constrained circumstances. But let us leave the mother with her miles to go before she sleeps. We can all use a comforting story of love, even--or especially--if it is ripped from a brutal past. -- NY Journal of Books, "Share this with young readers as a series of homilies on dreams and a family love strong enough to overcome any adversity." -- Kirkus Reviews "As an ode to the love a mother has for her son, it is sweetly successful." -- School Library Journal Bootman's beautiful, double-page watercolor spreads show mother and son together in the candlelit kitchen, Bailey as a strong woman at work in the cornfields, and finally on her long, tough, moonlit journey, during which, she tells her son, each mile is special...
