By: Lesa Cline-Ransome | Illustrator:  James E. Ransome   
A window into a child's experience of the Great Migration from the award-winning creators of Before She Was Harriet and Finding Langston.

Climbing aboard the New York bound Silver Meteor train, Ruth Ellen embarks upon a journey toward a new life up North-- one she can't begin to imagine. Stop by stop, the perceptive young narrator tells her journey in poems, leaving behind the cotton fields and distant Blue Ridge mountains.

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. As they travel, Ruth Ellen reads from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, reflecting on how her journey mirrors her own-- until finally the train arrives at its last stop, New York's Penn Station, and the family heads out into a night filled with bright lights, glimmering stars, and new possiblity.

James Ransome's mixed-media illustrations are full of bold color and texture, bringing Ruth Ellen's journey to life, from sprawling cotton fields to cramped train cars, the wary glances of other passengers and the dark forest through which Frederick Douglass traveled towards freedom. Overground Railroad is, as Lesa notes, a story "of people who were running from and running to at the same time," and it's a story that will stay with readers long after the final pages.

Nice
Style: Milky Toner
I have tried the regular version of this toner years ago and I loved it. It was one of the few products I have used that I could actually notice a visible difference after using. I liked the texture of this one and was excited to try it. I was using Glycolic acid prior to ordering this and wasn't thrilled with my results. This one was nice because it felt nice on my skin and there was definitely no burning even if I use it on an active or open acne spot. There's no scent and the ingredients are fairly good. However, I would be lying if I said I have noticed any visible signs of it working.

Sensitive skin friendly
Style: Milky Toner, Style: Milky Toner
As someone with very sensitive and acne prone skin, I absolutely love this toner. It doesn’t cause any irritation or any noticeable disruption to my skin barrier. It’s just a little drink of hydration for my skin and that’s really it! The ingredients are super conscious and clean too

The glow is gorgeous and not over the top
Color: 100ml #03-Bronze Gold
If you want that golden hour shimmer without looking like a disco ball, this body oil is it. I got it for a beach trip and ended up using it almost every day since. It gives your skin the prettiest bronzy glow with just enough sparkle to catch the light without feeling glittery or sticky. It blends in super smoothly and actually makes my skin look healthier. I’ve used it on my collarbones, shoulders, and even mixed a tiny bit into my foundation when I want that sun-kissed look. The scent is light and pretty too, not overpowering at all. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts. Plus it doesn’t transfer all over my clothes, which is a major win. If you love that radiant summer look or want to fake a tan without streaks, you’ll love this. Would totally buy again. Feels like a mini vacation in a bottle.
