Welcome to Litsy!

I set the north star in the heavens and i mean for you to be free

Powerful story about Harriet Tubman and slavery. does a good job about cover the travesty without being overbearing for young readers.

Biography. This fantastic book about Harriet Tubman is really something else. The illustrations are basically alive with emotion and the narrative is equally as great. The book recounts Harriet journey in the Underground Railroad and how after finding her freedom she goes back to help others find theirs.

The fact that they had to trick the Dogs of the people who wanted them killed is so sad.

I feel like this is a story that all children need to learn about, and I always have interesting learning about it. I think you can also learn about it through text books and videos and movies. You could use this book as a starter for learning about her and then eventually watching the movie films about it.

This is a short story of Harriet Tubmans journey of leading her people to freedom. This shows her challenges and struggles and how she conquered them

Very educational book! About the hardships Harriet went though to make a change

Great great read. Very intense and powerful. Biography about Harriet Tubman‘s

This is a really great book to teach students what kind of horrible things slaves went through back then and captures just how much determination, hard work, and empathy Harriet Tubman had for everyone. It shows how selfless she was and teaches students what it looks like to be an amazing human and put others before yourself.

This B, Caldecott Honors and Coretta Scott King award winning book tells the story of Harriet Tubman and her journey on the Underground Railroad. With beautiful illustration done by award winning artist Kadir Nelson, this tribute is a must have for all classroom libraries. An AS teaching strategies goes perfectly with this picture book.

#ThankfuThursday @Cosmos_Moon Thanks for the tag @Eggs I‘m a day late with this one. 1. My friend in Michigan. 2. I‘m thankful for my health.

Just received this end of school year donation to my library. I can't believe we didn't already have this book.

A book that touches on the terror and danger that people of color faced in trying to claim their freedom seemed like a good pick for #freedomday, today's #acrossapril prompt. @Eggs

Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom by Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Kadir Nelson is a beautiful B and RA book. This book is about how Harriet Tubman escaped hundreds of people always from slavery.

UDL principle 3.1 which is activate or supply background knowledge is critical for the book due to the use of creative language and students would need to know the key details of what happened.

One of favorite picture books. I love the pictures too by Kadir Nelson.

“She recalls dreams where she flew like a bird, sank, and was lifted by ladies in white who pulled her north.”

Really great book that brings diversity and Black history into the classroom.

This is a really great nonfiction book that incorporates an important part of history into the curriculum. Reading history in a way that tells it in an interesting way that connects with the students.

“how far lord?“

my favorite thing about the book was the words that were enlarged on each page as well in general the illustrations and layout

this was a great book. the book was written so well and I loved how they switched from her prayers to a narrator. this is such an important story

“Fly Harriet. Your heart has wings.“

I will use the book in my classroom to build their knowledge of history and the social world.

This is a good nonfiction book because the text and illustrations reveal diversity and avoid stereotypes. The text is also appropriate for the intended audience.

“Trust me to protect you, child.”

A great lesson starter. Makes children question “What is slavery?”.

Moses by Carole Boston Weatherford published in 2006 tells the biography of Harriet Tubman. Tubman was born into slavery and the first to go through the underground railroad to find freedom.

“Harriet's feet bleed and her gut churns. Under the stars, she draws near to God. Lord, don't let nobody turn me 'round; I'd rather die than be a slave.“

I would use this book in my classroom because the story is very empowering and beautiful but I would have to be careful because it seems to be a religious book and I wouldn't want to offend or push a different idea or belief to my students.

Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom written by Carole Boston Weatherford. Tells the fictional story of Harriet Tubman's first trip to freedom, using her belief in the Lord and how then the Lord called upon her to free other slaves using the Underground Railroad. The details in this story are historically accurate, including the names and dates/places but is told in an authentic way.

“Save all you can, Daughter”

I wouldn‘t read this book in a classroom only because of the amount of references to god. Not everyone is Christian and it wouldn‘t be right to read such a deeply religious book like this to a classroom.

This book did a really good job teaching the struggles Harriet Tubman had gone through. She was deeply religious and used god to help her get to freedom. At the end of the book, there is an author‘s note that explains the full life of Harriet Tubman. She was a rebel and should be relevant in history forever.

“It wasn‘t me. It was the Lord. I always trust Him to lead me and He always does.”

Very inspirational book!! I like how she has a conversation with God and pursues her dream of running away.

Moses by Carole Boston Weatherford was published in 2006. Harriet Tubman, who has been enslaved, uses God as motivated and inspiration to run away. God gives her signs and words that help her know she is doing the right thing. She believes he is with her through her journey. As she becomes successful, she decides to return to the South and help as many enslaved people as she can!

“As far as you can walk with me, my child, and I can carry you.”

This book gave great insight on what Harriet Tubman went through as a slave and her journey to freedom. It showed how reliant she was on God to get her through. This would be a great resource to teach children about how hard the lives of the slaves were.

Moses by Carole Boston Weatherford is a piece of historical fiction. It was published in 2006. This story is about Harriet Tubman and her journey to lead her people to freedom. It is a conversation between her and God discussing her freedom. It tells us about how she travelled through swamps, woods, her run from her owners. Throughout the whole story God is encouraging her and helping her find the motivation to keep going.

“Not heaven, Harriet, Free soil.”

I was kind of neutral about this historical fiction book. This book has a very heavy emphasis on God and religion. This is perfectly fine for some but there are so many religions it would be hard to read this to a group of diverse children. I think Harriet Tubman‘s story is SO important but I am not totally sold on this version of it for a public school setting. The illustrations are beautiful and it is written beautifully though.

Is this heaven, Lord?
Not heaven, Harriet, free soil.

Throughout the book, Harriet Tubman takes place mostly as a conversation between her and God. I liked how the book explains slavery and also contains information about Harriet.

This book is very poetic and is a roaring tribute to Harriet Tubman's strength, humility, and devotion. She made trips into the South freeing about three-hundred people and never lost a person on a trip. I think this book has more religious themes than historical themes.
