January's Sparrow
by Patricia Polacco
This beautifully formatted books tells the poignant story of slaves scaping on the Undeground Railway. While having longer text, the pictures in every page will lend to a great read-aloud. The story is easily accessible to younger elementary students, while still maintaining the integrity of the story and the shocking way slaves were treated. I highly recommend this book as an addition to the study of the Civil War and/or the Underground Railroad!
