Slavery is a very hard topic to understand as a young child. This book does a great job of showing young children what slave life was like and gives insight into the thoughts and feelings of those who were forced to work on plantations. This story is about a family who escapes one night on the Underground railroad to find freedom in the north. The adventure is exciting and also very sad! The illustrations are solemn in tones of browns and purples that goes very well with the feelings in the book.
