A young reader's edition of Candacy Taylor's acclaimed book about
the history of the Green Book, the guide for Black travelers
Overground Railroad chronicles the history of the Green Book, which
was published from 1936 to 1966 and was the "Black travel guide to
America." For years, it was dangerous for African Americans to
travel in the United States. Because of segregation, Black
travelers couldn't eat, sleep, or even get gas at most white-owned
businesses.The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, department
stores, gas stations, recreational destinations, and other
businesses that were safe for Black travelers. It was a resourceful
and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to
be listed in the Green Book, and the stories from those who took a
stand against racial segregation are recorded and celebrated.This
young reader's edition of Candacy Taylor's critically acclaimed
adult book Overground Railroad includes her own photographs of
Green Book sites, as well as archival photographs and interviews
with people who owned and used these facilities. The book also
includes an author's note, endnotes, bibliography, timeline, and
index.

One big tractor, shiny and new. One small tractor, rusty and
blue... TRACTOR TRACTOR is the second book in a series of
lift-the-flap books about the humorous goings-on at Funny Farm.
Each book has an early-learning aspect and TRACTOR TRACTOR is all
about opposites. It has sliders too, so children can make the
tractors move forward and back, fast and slow. It's harvest time
and Red arrives shiny, fast and strong. Blue is an old faithful -
small and rusty but wise and calm. So when Red decides to race home
after a hard day's harvesting, Blue lets him go, only to find Red
in a ditch, no longer shiny and clean but the dirtiest - and
smelliest! - tractor he's ever seen. A warm-hearted story that
shows, despite being opposites, young and old can make a great
team, and be the very best of friends. The Funny Farm series is
beautifully produced with matt laminated and embossed covers and
sturdy board pages. It also includes Cluck, Cluck, Duck, a counting
lift-the-flap book.
