This is a must read for all American children, especial African American kids. Courage comes in so many forms. Who would think that a small, formerly enslaved, African American woman would have such a huge amount of courage! Most importantly, Harriet Tubman learned courage from her mother and her father. Even thought they were slaves they put everything on the line to keep there family together. Strong families make strong communities.Moreover, Ms. Tubman work as a Union spy and raiding party leader is definitely note worthy and deserving of praise. I think Ms. Tubman should be on the US 100 bill. She is worth her weight in gold.
I bought this for my goddaughter to read for a school project. She loved this book. Finished it quickly and without prodding. She even re-read it, and she's not a devoted reader like I am. That makes this an excellent product!
An easy reader chapter book briefly tells the story of Harriet Tubman's life and her heroic deeds to save other slaves by bringing them to Canada and later on her part in the Civil War. A good majority of the book is spent on her life as a child, and life before she escaped slavery so children can get to know her as a person first before they learn she is a hero. My only quibble is that the whole Canadian connection is skipped. The word Canada appears once in the book "take the group on to Canada".Fortunately we live very close to where she lived in Canada and were able to visit the church where Tubman brought the slaves on (I forget whether it was 17 or 19) separate journeys she made down south and back again via the Underground Railroad.
History is very much of interest to me as try to become more acquainted with pieces of history that I am not familiar. It seems as time passes, what I have learned in the past has become fuzzy. I like having references that I can restore sections of history that I should have remembered from my time in school. Thanks for making this section of history available.
This is a very short little reading book. I haven't gotten this series before and just expected it to be a bit more substantial. It was too easy for my oldest daughter who I got it for. But about right for my boy.
My 8 year old enjoyed this version of Harriet Tubman's story. It was a nice easy read and flowed well with just enough information for him to digest. I was even reminded of a few things I'd forgotten.
Great book! My son who loves trains was glad to learn of another railway that lead people to freedom. He was captivated by Harriet's bravery and saddened by the horrors of slavery. Great book to talk about history and how we all can make a difference!
The book covers the basic milestones of Harriet Tubman's life; however, it doesn't really count as a "story" in my mind. The milestones are written out in paragraph form rather than just scribbled onto a timeline, but there isn't feeling in the story. It's basically a 3-minute lecture on who Harriet Tubman was. And you'd never know it from the star ratings. It's as though our standards for children's literature are nonexistent. It's irritating. Children like good stories too, and they deserve better than what this and other easy readers are offering.
