Up Pop the Pages
Up pop the pages,
silhouettes of running slaves—
freedom’s just ahead.

Looks like fun!
This is a wonderful image with appropriate words. Well done!
That’s a neat idea for a pop-up book- I have never seen one use silhouettes before.
Like how you have propped the book on a clear stand so that attention is drawn to the shapely shadows! Delightful!
Running to Canada, where we welcomed them, one and all! Dark days, but a great silhouette, and terrific segue to Black History Month 🙂
