Author’s note - this is a fictional story based on facts, with imagined conversations with God depicted as the source of Tubman’s courage. Afterward tells more about her life. Goodread REview: I set the North Star in the heavens and I mean for you to be free.... Born into slavery, Harriet Tubman hears these words from God one summer night and decides to leave her husband and family behind and escape. Taking with her only her faith, she must creep through the woods with hounds at her feet, sleep for days in a potato hole, and trust people who could have easily turned her in. But she was never alone. In lyrical text, Carole Boston Weatherford describes Tubman's spiritual journey as she hears the voice of God guiding her north to freedom on that very first trip to escape the brutal practice of forced servitude. Tubman would make nineteen subsequent trips back south, never being caught, but none as profound as this first one. Courageous, compassionate, and deeply religious, Harriet Tubman, with her bravery and relentless pursuit of freedom, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. This is a unique and moving portrait of one of the most inspiring figures of the Underground Railroad. Kadir Nelson's emotionally charged paintings embody strength, healing, and hope. This is a powerful book about how Harriet Tubman "Mother Moses" first escapes from slavery and then assists many other slaves in the south to escape to freedom. The book also talks about antislavery activists and the underground railroad. I think this would be a great book to read to a history class when discussing slavery in America. This is a great book for late elementary and middle school aged students. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
