This is a very simple nonfiction book. This story tells about how the slaves would run away to freedom and how terrifying it was. The color scheme of this book changes from blues to yellows as they become more uplifted and free. It is a simple and easy book to understand. There is also good information at the end of the book to continue the learning.

This would be a really good book for younger children when you talk about the Underground Railroad and slaves escaping. It is a hard topic to talk about but this book makes it simple.

Underground by Shane W. Evans, 2011. The book is very short and the words are easy. I like the illustrations they fill up the entire page. You almost don‘t need the words because the pictures tell the story. It is the journey of slaves becoming free.

This book is about slavery and what happens to slaves when they escaped underground to freedom. Slaves would use the Underground Railroad tunnels to escape from the south to the north.

Underground is a HF simple picture book that follows the story of a group of slaves who are trying to break free and make it north where they can be. It uses simple, simple sentences which lends it to be an excellent GR. It covers UDL 3.1, 7.2 and ESOL 14, and 27. The resource is for 5th up while the book is geared more towards emergent readers, however you can modify the lesson, or use the book as a jumping point for the main lesson.
