Underground: Finding the Light to Freedom is an inspiring book that follows a family along the Underground Railroad through the use of simple, yet powerful, crayon-like drawings. The book uses short phrases to convey the emotions of the family at each stage of their journey. This book could be used in a classroom as a trade book that is available during a unit on slavery, to provide an example of how illustrations can tell the story, as well as to show how even simple illustrations can be entrancing.
