Even though my students are older, they still enjoyed this book, which is appropriate for young children. There are pictures with every page, helping to illustrate the story. It discusses an aspect of the Underground Railroad that we had not discussed, and includes blacksmithing (which they are currently very into), so it led to many good discussions.

Amazing. Simply Amazing. This is the story of Pa and his son. They wait to hear and send the Blacksmith’s song to guide travelers along the Underground railroad. While the author notes that this is not a true story, me states that many things were used to guide people: songs, quilts, art, etc. Why not the song of a blacksmith. This is a powerful picture book. It emotes hope, and fear, and impatient waiting. A perfect book to start children on a love of history.
