Box: Henry Brown Mails Himself to Freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford illustrated by Michele Wood*

-Newbery Honor Book 

Through poems, Ms. Weatherford relates the life of Henry Brown and his grand escape in small box! I liked how she included other historical events that impacted slavery. A great book to utilize when studying the Underground Railroad and rumblings of the Civil War.

*Highly recommend.
