The actual visuals could be livelier, but younger readers after a mental big picture of the struggle will be well served. 

Review quotes

Praise for If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad:

Wilkins highlights the heroic achievements of conductors of African descent . . . A fiery and inspiring look at a pivotal period in U.S. history.—Kirkus

Praise for If You Lived During the Plimoth Thanksgiving;

A welcome addition to the picture book history collection. ...The text does a remarkable job of giving larger context to the complexity of Indigenous life prior to colonization...This essential book should replace many established titles on the shelf. —School Library Journal (starred review)

A measured corrective to pervasive myths about what is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. ...The lens Newell offers is a Native one, describing how the Wampanoag and other Native peoples received the English rather than the other way around. ...Essential. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Edit Your Review

The book was ok. I'm not a fan of historical wars. the only thing I would like about wars is that the country is being protected.
