Who Was Harriet Tubman?
Product ID: 181131654
Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do.

An embarrassing confession...
These are "supposed" to be for kids but I discovered this series by accident at Target recently and have been buying them for me, and I'm over 40. I am very ignorant, and not proud of it. Academics was never my forte. I have a problem learning things when they are presented in a dry, boring way. I've always thought learning about history would be much more engaging if you could find out more personal details about a person, know more about their human experience. This book on Harriet Tubman is exactly that, and I truly enjoyed it. I loved the details about her childhood, her marriages, and things like how she got the scar on her forehead. These little books are the perfect size. You can easily throw them in your purse and do a little reading here and there. I can take them into the bathtub with me. They are just enough on a given subject to give you some basic knowledge and interesting details without being too much. I am so happy to see all the different ones available, and plan on buying many more to learn about various things. They are so affordable. I love all the pictures, I love the cartoony covers. Learning does NOT have to be boring!!

Amazing Woman
Harriet Tubman was an amazing woman and this book tells her story for kids. I've read it to my 9 year old grandson and he was very impressed with Mrs. Tubman. He's been writing about her in his blog assignments for school. There is a whole series of books like this based on the lives of famous Blacks and I was so impressed that I purchased several more in the series.

Daughter needed this for a 5th grade book report. She’s been fascinated with Harriet Tubman. Well written for her age group. She received a 95 on her report.

This book caught my attention very fast. It’s so interested I read it in one day.It’s really awesome.
After I read the first three pages I realized I was so interested that I didn’t want to stop reading it.The book inspired me and I learned many facts that I didn’t know about Harriet Tubman.I really enjoyed watching the author did.
