One of School Library Journal's Best Nonfiction Books of 2011
A few well chosen words and spellbinding images pack an emotion wallop
not soon forgotten in this picture book for young readers about the
Underground Railroad.
A family silently crawls along the ground. They run barefoot through
unlit woods, sleep beneath bushes, take shelter in a kind stranger's
home. Where are they heading? They are heading for freedom by way of the
Underground Railroad.
