Synopsis:
Grades K - 3
All aboard! A young girl and her parents catch a train heading out of South Carolina to New York City, during the 1930s, in what is known as the Great Migration. The beautiful illustrations expertly capture the journey north, as a family leaves their life of sharecropping for better opportunities. Filled with information, emotion, and hope, this book is great as a read aloud or shared one-on-one.
