CEECEE, UNDERGROUND RAILROAD CINDERELLA written Shana Keller, illustrated by Laura Freeman

CEECEE, UNDERGROUND RAILROAD CINDERELLA is written by Shana Keller and begins with a young girl clutching a slip of paper that bears her name, tears running down her face, as her mother is driven away in a cart. Powerful illustrations by Laura Freeman strengthen Keller’s words. Ceecee, as she is called by the family she cares for in Maryland, has two girls who order her about and she fulfills the family’s every wish, secretly pursing her own wish for freedom. There are many parellels throughout especially the satisfying ending where she is rescued from her enslavement not by a prince, but by Harriet Tubman.
