pickMiddle-grade graphic biography of Harriet Tubman. I learned a lot about Tubman's history, but the style is a little too irreverent for my taste. My 11yo loved the book, and it has prompted lots of conversations, but he's a little more accustomed to the graphic format than I am.
From the Build Your Library homeschool curriculum level 6 booklist.
pickThis Hazardous Tales graphic novel is about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Its quite moving and she is fantastic. Also was I the only one who didn't know she had narcolepsy? This also may be the only one of these stories with a well deserved happy ending. Kleenex is still recommended while reading 😻

pickNathan Hale‘s Hazardous Tales are great introductions to history for kids. In an engaging format, the story of Harriet Tubman came to life on the page. I recommend these for classroom libraries.

pickThis series is great and led to a lot of discussion about U.S. history and slavery. Felt very comprehensive for a graphic novel and I learned a lot about Harriet Tubman that I either never knew or had forgotten - Particularly about her role as a spy and leading raids during the civil war. Does not shy away from the cruelty and brutality of slavery and owners of enslaved persons, but does so in an age appropriate manner.
pickAnother spectacular edition of American history! Harriet Tubman is one amazing woman and I was completely impressed with her life and what she risked over and over again in the pursuit of justice and freedom!!!
The humor in these books is so perfect, it breaks up the real serious bits extraordinarily well! The Hangman is my favorite!!!
Trying to get these finished because I went a little nuts at the library last time we were there... 😬 Now I'm overwhelmed!! Lol... getting some reading time in before heading in to the museum today, which has become more of a chore than enjoyment due to a new director and lots of changes that are affecting the way we give tours. 😤 Just a few more weeks!
Not gonna lie, I needed to take a break from this just now. This is going to take me a while to get through and I love that such a sensitive and difficult subject was brought to kids with amazing compassion.
What is a abolitionist? Seriously I don‘t know. Please put your answer in the comments.
pickHarriet Tubman was seriously such a badass! I learned a lot from this graphic novel and the little quips and commentary helped to keep it from getting too grim. Read it in one sitting. Really enjoyed it and will totally be reading more from this dude!
