ELEM: Slavery/Underground Railroad books

[Laura Burns <LauraLib@AOL.COM>]

I have a teacher working with a low level class of 4th graders.  They are
working on the history of the underground railroad and slavery.  They will be
watching the Reading Rainbow show on Follow the Drinking Gourd.  The teacher
would then like the class to come in the library and be read a story along the
same lines.  Can anyone recommend a picture book that would be a good read
aloud on this topic?
