Lesa Cline-Ransome writes children's historical fiction, picture-book biography and narrative non-fiction, often focusing on Black American history through individual lives and family experience. Finding Langston follows a boy who moves from Alabama to Chicago during the Great Migration and discovers the work of Langston Hughes in a public library, while Leaving Lymon continues the story from another child's viewpoint. Before She Was Harriet traces Harriet Tubman's life backwards through the many roles she held, and Overground Railroad follows a family travelling north during the Great Migration. Her prose is clear, emotionally direct and well suited to shared or independent reading. Her work fits Black history for children, historical middle grade and picture-book biography, especially for readers who prefer history anchored in a specific journey or person. Read more Less
