Book description

Book description
Ellen and William Craft escaped slavery in Georgia during the Christmas holiday of 1848. Their primary motive was their desire for a large family and their refusal to raise children in slavery. Not only would the children be slaves, but as the legal property of the slave owner, they could be taken from their parents at any time. The young couple disguised Ellen, a light-skinned, half-white woman, as a white, male slave owner travelling with his slave. Because she couldn’t read or write, Ellen wrapped her right hand to pass it off as injured, allowing her to ask others to write her name when required. They had to travel over 1,000 miles to reach the Pennsylvania border to freedom. Thus, they chose to escape near Christmas, when their master thought they were visiting friends and family with permission. During their 4-day escape, the couple had to keep up the façade of slave owner and slave, creating awkward moments between them. Ellen was put under the most pressure, dodging people who might know her and having to wriggle out of sticky situations. This book has most value as a teaching tool. The story is told simply with full-color illustrations. It ends with the Crafts’ arrival in Pennsylvania, but a “More About” section details some highlights of what came next for them. It’s a great book for older struggling readers or young readers who are learning about slavery. Because slavery is such a harsh piece of history, I wouldn’t put this in the hands of a child who doesn’t have some slavery history already in his/her background knowledge.This short book also includes a table of contents, glossary, bibliography, and index, all of which are great opportunities for explicit teaching about the layout of a book. A FactHound code found in the back directs younger readers to age-appropriate, safe websites to find information to further learning about slavery and connected issues.• No sex, violence, or language• Appropriate for any age group, provided they are ready to learn about slavery
