In this gorgeous, wordless book, a young girl finds a runaway slave and bravely decides to help the stranger. In return, the slave leaves her a gift to thank her before continuing on the journey to freedom. The two characters communicate through their actions, forming an unspoken bond that will touch their lives forever.
This is an excellent book for discussions on the Underground Railroad, slavery and the Civil War. Its stunning, exquisite illustrations will engage students as they build storytelling skills by narrating the tale.
