Ain't Nobody A Stranger To Me

BY ANNE GRIFALCONI, ILLUSTRATED BY JERRY PINKNEY

Brief Description:
Two Caldecott Honor recipients bring you the incredible journey of one man, as he recounts the story of his passage on the Underground Railroad to his granddaughter. Although he and his family found troubles during their escape, he found that folks, black & white, "helped lift us up when we was down." How, then, could he ever turn his back on another human being? "He talks to her of slavery times, when he carried apple seeds in his pocket and dreamed of planting them in his own soil. Then he escaped with his wife and baby (the grandchild's mama), and he describes how a brave white man, Quaker James Stanton, helped them cross the Ohio River to freedom. ..." - Hazel Rochman
