Unspoken: A Story from the Underground Railroad

(2) K-3 In this wordless book, a young girl discovers a fugitive hiding amongst the cut cornstalks stored in the root cellar. What Cole shows so superbly through his accomplished yet unpretentious pencil art is the keeping of secrets. The entire family appears to know what's going on, but the extent of each character's involvement is never made explicit; it is conveyed by body language alone.
