A review by elizabethlk
Almost to Freedom by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, Colin Bootman

5.0

Almost to Freedom is unique and clever in its storytelling, presenting a tale of a young girl and her family escaping slavery as seen through the eyes of the girl's doll. The story is painful but hopeful, displaying the brutality of slavery through the most innocent eyes possible. The illustrations are absolutely stunning.

I think this is a beautiful introduction to a brutal subject, and highly recommended for children learning about the Underground Railroad.
