This is a biography of Harriet Tubman beginning at the time of which she is an older lady. It then plays out her life events back in time when she helped slaves escape on the Underground Railroad. It talks about her job as a spy and her various achievements throughout history. I would recommend reading this story to the upper elementary grades. I think it would be a great book to introduce the impact of slavery. Published in 2017.
pickBeautiful words and illustrations to honour a strong, courageous, and heroic woman. I learnt that Harriet Tubman, in her lifetime, played many different roles, was known by different names.

But before wrinkles formed and her eyes failed before she reached her twilight years she could walk for miles and see clearly under a sky lit only with stars

An absolutely beautiful tribute to a heroic and fierce woman. To a woman who fought not just for her freedom, but for the freedom of others. A must have for any children‘s collection that wants to recognize strong women.
