Reach for this book when your child is facing a crisis of conscience or needs to understand that doing the right thing often requires immense bravery. While many historical stories focus on grand gestures, this narrative centers on Hallie, a young girl caught between the safety of the status quo and the moral imperative to help those in danger. It is an excellent tool for discussing the Underground Railroad through a relatable lens of empathy and personal agency. This fictionalized account of real Quaker abolitionists Levi and Catharine Coffin introduces children ages 6 to 10 to the harsh realities of slavery with grace and gravity. The collage art softens the intensity of the subject matter while highlighting the human connection between Hallie and the girls she discovers. It serves as a powerful model for how even a child can play a pivotal role in the pursuit of justice and freedom.
