CeeCee: Underground Railroad Cinderella is a beautifully illustrated story. Cecelia, shortened to CeeCee, is a young slave girl bullied by the white children she serves. She longs to be able to live the life she wants: learning, reading, and eating the same food as her owners. Her friend, Binty, the cook, tells her about Moses freeing the Egyptians. Secretively, she also encourages her to find freedom with the Underground Railroad. Emboldened by her dreams of freedom, mixed with the stories of Cinderella and Moses, CeeCee begins sewing herself a new dress to wear when she escapes slavery. As it turns out, CeeCee's rescuer is Harriet Tubman, who leads her to safety.

This book would be a great resource as part of a unit on Black History. This is a book that I plan to buy for my classroom.

Thank you very much to Charlesbridge and NetGalley for an ARC of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.
