Review Praise for Unspoken: A Story from the Underground Railroad A New York Times Best Illustrated Book"[D]esigned to present youngsters with a moral choice . . . the author, a former teacher, clearly intended Unspoken to be a challenging book, its somber sepia tone drawings establish a mood of foreboding." -The New York Times Book Review *"Moving and emotionally charged." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review*"Gorgeously rendered in soft dark pencils, this wordless book is reminiscent of the naturalistic pencil artistry of Maurice Sendak and Brian Selznick." -School Library Journal, starred review *"Cole conjures significant tension and emotional heft (his silent storytelling calls to mind Brian Selznicks recent work) in this powerful tale of quiet camaraderie and courage." -Publishers Weekly, starred review"From the title on, silence and secrets create stirring drama in this wordless picture book . . . children will be moved to return to the images many times and fill in their own words." -Booklist "What Cole shows so superbly through his accomplished yet unpretentious pencil art-the ideal medium for the book, as it looks as if its of the era as well as portraying the era-is the keeping of secrets. The entire family appears to know whats going on, but the extent of each characters involvement is never made explicit." -Horn Book Review Quote Praise for Unspoken: A Story from the Underground Railroad *"Moving and emotionally charged." - Kirkus Reviews "What Cole shows so superbly through his accomplished yet unpretentious pencil art-the ideal medium for the book, as it looks as if its of the era as well as portraying the era-is the keeping of secrets.
