(4) K-3 On My Own History series. Illustrated by Mary O'Keefe Young. This easy-to-read account of William and Ellen Craft's escape from slavery is simply told yet informative. Light-skinned Ellen disguises herself as a white man, and her husband pretends to be her slave. They travel from Georgia to Philadelphia and freedom. Though awkwardly rendered, the color illustrations help to clarify the text. An afterword and timeline are appended. Bib.
