Unspoken
A Story from the Underground Railroad
Henry Cole
Juvenile Fiction / Historical / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877)
A Civil War–era girl’s courage is tested in this haunting, wordless story.
When a farm girl discovers a runaway slave hiding in the barn, she is at once startled and frightened. But the stranger’s fearful eyes weigh upon her conscience, and she must make a difficult choice.
Will she have the courage to help him?
Unspoken gifts of humanity unite the girl and the runaway as they each face a journey: one following the North Star, the other following her heart.
Henry Cole’s unusual and original rendering of the Underground Railroad speaks directly to our deepest sense of compassion.
