Description
The Silver Meteor train rumbles into view as Ruth Ellen embarks on a journey to a new life up North. In poems, she recounts her experiences from the cotton fields to the Delaware River, reflecting on the freedom and opportunity that awaits her family. As they travel, Ruth Ellen reads from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, finding parallels between her own story and his. The perceptive young narrator shares her observations of the world outside the train car window, where she witnesses scenes of hard work and longing for a better life. James Ransome's mixed-media illustrations bring Ruth Ellen's journey to life, from the sprawling cotton fields to the cramped train cars and dark forests they traverse. A powerful story of hope and resilience, Overground Railroad is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
