Illustrated by James Ransome, whose paintings for The Creation won a Coretta Scott King medal, this is a riveting introduction to an American hero.
This lush, lyrical biography in verse begins with a glimpse of Harriet Tubman as an old woman, and travels back in time through the many roles she played through her life: spy, liberator, suggragist and more.
As Araminta she was a young girl whose father showed her the stars and the first steps on the path to freedom.
As Minty she was a slave whose spirit could not be broken.
As Moses she led hundreds to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
As General Tubman she was a Union spy.
We know her today as Harriet Tubman, but in her lifetime she was called by many names.
