Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in the Sky

I thought that this book did a good job at simplifying the underground railroad for students. I thought that this book would be a good one to use when trying to explain the underground railroad to younger and even older students. I thought that it was also interesting that the character Cassie actually had to go through many of the actual safe houses that Harriet Tubman used herself when going back and forth on the underground railroad. I thought that this book took a piece of history that could be considered complicated and made it easy and enjoyable for younger students to read about to gain an understanding of this piece in history.
