Almost to Freedom – Vaunda Micheaux Nelson

Almost to Freedom shares the story of Lindy and her family’s escape from slavery through the Underground Railroad.  The illustrations are haunting, but what truly makes this book unique is that the story is told from the point of view of the little girl’s doll.  Our daughter was intently interested by this narration technique and quickly became engrossed in the story.
