Description
This picture book biography in verse tells the story of Harriet Tubman, an American heroine whose life was marked by many roles and names. From her childhood as Araminta to her later years as General Tubman, Moses, Minty, and others, this book explores the many facets of her life.
Through a combination of evocative poetry and stunning watercolors, Harriet's story comes alive. The book begins with a glimpse of her as an old woman, then travels back in time to reveal her experiences as a spy, liberator, and Underground Railroad leader.
This is a riveting introduction to an American hero, accompanied by a new author's note and resources for further study. A Junior Library Guild Selection and a Coretta Scott King Honor Book winner, this book is a great choice for readers looking to learn more about Harriet Tubman's remarkable life.
