OVERGROUND RAILROAD
Book ID/图书代码： 06430019C00083
English Summary/英文概要： Ruth Ellen’s odyssey on the New York Bound Silver Meteor is the start of a new life up North that she can’t begin to imagine in this gorgeously illustrated picture book.
In poems, illustrated with collage art, a perceptive girl tells the story of her train journey from North Carolina to New York City as part of the Great Migration. Each leg of the trip brings new revelations as scenes out the window of folks working in fields give way to the Delaware River, the curtain that separates the colored car is removed, and glimpses of the freedom and opportunity the family hopes to find come into view.
Overground Railroad offers a window into a child’s experience of the Great Migration from the award-winning creators behind Finding Langston, Before She was Harriet, Benny Goodman & Teddy Wilson, and Just a Lucky So and So.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 露丝·艾伦在纽约银流星上的奥德赛是北方新生活的开始，在这本精美的图画书中，她无法想象这一切。
以拼贴艺术为插图的诗歌中，一个富有洞察力的女孩讲述了她作为大迁移的一部分，从北卡罗莱纳州到纽约市的火车旅程。旅途的每一段都带来了新的启示，田野里劳作的人们窗外的景色被特拉华河取代，分隔有色车的窗帘被掀开，家庭希望找到的自由和机会的一瞥映入眼帘。
地上铁路提供了一个窗口，从一个孩子的经验，从屡获殊荣的创造者背后发现兰斯顿，她之前是哈里特，本尼古德曼和泰迪威尔逊，只是一个幸运某某某。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：★ "Warm portraiture and vivid writing by married collaborators Cline-Ransome and Ransome (Before She Was Harriet) mark this story of a family’s journey north during the Great Migration. . . . Ransome renders the scenes realistically in bold colors, strong lines, and delicate collage-like patterns. . . . The journey is seen through the eyes of richly developed characters drawn with care and sympathy."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
★ "Ransome’s watercolor-and-collage illustrations effectively capture both the historical setting and the trepidation of a family who though not enslaved, nevertheless must escape as if they were. Cotton bolls throughout the images accentuate cotton’s economic dominance in the sharecropping system. A beautiful portrayal of a historic and arduous family journey northward."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"Through handsome collage, pencil and watercolor illustrations and lyrical free verse, the family’s hopeful journey to find better jobs, homes and rights shows readers a major moment in the large scope of African American history. . . . Young readers will likely be drawn in by the author’s riff on a familiar phrase in the title, as well as the spare but poetic language in which Ruthie narrates her long day’s journey"—Shelf Awareness
