Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky By Faith Ringgold

Faith Ringgold wrote a sequal to the book "Tar Beach" called, "Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky". In this book, Faith brings the Underground Railroad to life for young readers through the experiences of Cassie and her brother BeBe. It is a great springboard for a discussion of slavery and Harriet Tubman's journey to freedom. Best of all it has the vibrant illustration that reader's of Ringgold works love.
