A lush and lyrical biography of Harriet Tubman, written in verse and illustrated by an award-winning artist.
We know her nowadays as Harriet Tubman, but in her lifetime she used to be known as by many names. As General Tubman she used to be a Union spy. As Moses she led hundreds to freedom at the Underground Railroad. As Minty she used to be a slave whose spirit may no longer be broken. An evocative poem and luxurious watercolors come in combination to honor a woman of humble origins whose courage and compassion make her larger than life.
