A Story of the Underground Railroad. by Courtni C. Wright & illustrated by Gershom Griffith. Wright (Jumping the Broom, p. 152) generally assumes that readers will know more of the historical background than they are likely to. The book joins the group in mid-flight, as wild dogs snap at their heels; they go on to a safe house; eight-year-old Joshua sees his first snow (and his 10-year-old brother gets frostbitten feet, since the boys wear no shoes); and finally they cross Lake Erie by boat and reach safety in Canada.

Journey to Freedom is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Michelle Williams, released on September 9, 2014 by E1 Music and Light Records. It marked her first release under the label after severing professional ties with longtime record company Columbia Records and manager Mathew Knowles in 2009. Following a hiatus from her recording career, Williams' album, a collaboration with main producer Harmony Samuels, was a fusion of both urban contemporary gospel and R&B sounds.

I chose to write the book in short vignettes to highlight what God was doing to bring freedom to me as well as those I encountered both on the outside and those behind prison bars. I read a book a week. 50 books a year for the past 30 years. The recidivism rate in prison (returning to prison after being released) is over 80%. Spending almost 20 years behind bars and being moved from facility to facility seven times, I have endeavored to represent some of the things God was doing at each location that captured men's hearts.

Journey to Freedom: A Story of the Underground Railroad by Courtni C. Wright is a wonderfully written book about a family traveling on the Underground Railroad seeking refuge from slavery. In this book, Harriet Tubman leads a family of five from Kentucky to Canada. In their journey, they must overcome obstacles such as frostbite, hiding in bushes, using songs and signals to make moves, and living on hope in order to successfully reach Canada without being caught. Wright does a phenomenal job putting the reader into the characters shoes. There is suspense, hope, joy, and many other emotions that the reader will experience. It is appropriate for many ages. The illustrations did not always match the text. For instance the emotions on the faces of the characters sometimes did not match what the text was portraying. Furthermore, at one point in the story the characters are hiding from dogs, but the dogs did not appear threatening in any way even though the author used words such as "growls" and "snarls." Other than that critique I thought this was a great book, very appropriate for children.
This book matched several NCSS National Standards for teaching Social Studies.
For example, Standard II. Time, Continuity, & Change:
c. compare and contrast different stories or accounts about past events, people, places, or situations, identifying how they contribute to our understanding of the past;
The students are learning about the Underground railroad and different events/people that occurred in U.S. history.
Another example would be Standard III. People, Places & Environments:
a. Construct and use mental maps of locales, regions, and the world that demonstrate understanding of relative location, direction, size, and shape;
The book takes you the entire way through the journey with the family, starting from Kentucky all the way up to Canada. On the last page there is even a map showing their journey.
I would definitely recommend this book.

Great reference book to use while reading about the Underground railroad. To accompany the words, the book has colorful illustrations.

My son is eight years old this book was written so he could really grasp what the struggle was all about.

Highly educational for todays modern children to learn about the struggles and triumphs of people before their time. A wonderful story about the underground railroad written in such a way that it held the attention of both myself, my 3 year old and 7 year old. I highly recommend this book!

This is the story of a family of slaves making their way to Canada with Harriet Tubman told from a child's perspective. This well told story includes some of the hardships that the escaping slaves encountered, but does not dip deeply into any violent events. It is very readable and interesting, and expresses the fear of discovery that the entire group feels. It gives a young child a feeling of some of the problems that the travelers endured without being overpowering. This is an excellent beginning to a difficult topic.

I ordered this for my son who reads at a 3rd grade level. I thought it was a chapter book type book but it is just a really thin book. He really enjoyed it though, I wish Amazon could come up with a better way of letting you know how big a book is, the # of pages doesn't always mean anything.
