The Overground Railroad by Lesa Cline-Ransome illustrated by James Ransome*

 This wife-husband team depicts a family's move from the south to the north during the Great Migration.  

The illustrations, the text layout, and lyrical narration will encourage discussion.  I like how the story is not linear and mixes in the story of Frederick Douglass. 

To prepare for a WOW class (Writers on Writing),  I read aloud this book and discussed it with my twelve-year-old son.  

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
