Children learn about Harriet Tubman, beginning with her life as a child slave and including her escape to freedom, her legendary role as a ˇ°conductorˇ± on the Underground Railroad and her life as a free woman. Drawing upon the recollections of a Tubman relative, the author recounts that Harriet was whipped for eating an apple from her master's orchard and that later in life she planted apple trees to celebrate her freedom and independence. Vivid illustrations convey the courage and enduring contribution of this remarkable American. Movingly narrated by the author. Includes A Conversation With the Author Glennette Tilley Turner. |
