A poetic review of the very full life of Harriet Tubman. Engrossing full-page watercolors draw you into the amazing accomplishments of Harriet’s life - suffragette, nurse, Union spy as well as conductor of the Underground Railroad. The text is sparse, but lyrical and will lead to many questions and discussion of Harriet’s courage and sense of purpose. Excellent with the second grade Core Knowledge unit on the Civil War.*Available on Epic!
