Unspoken: A Story from the Underground Railroad

by Henry Cole
E COL

This wordless book will draw you right into the story.

It is set during the time of the Underground Railroad--when slaves were hid in homes and on farms and then sent to another location to travel north toward freedom. 

Soldiers have come to a farm where a young girl is working.  After they leave, she find someone hiding in her barn.  She brings him food and he eventually moves on.

It has beautiful illustrations and the story is powerful.  I know you will enjoy it.
