| Who was Harriet Tubman? (c) 2002 by Yona Zeldis McDonough |
Her life was very remarkable. She started life as a slave. When she was in her early teens, she injured very badly by a brick that hit her in the head. She recovered, but suffered the rest of her life with several issues related to her head injury, including sometimes falling asleep without any warning.
Despite this, she was able to escape slavery and make it to freedom in the north. She went back many times to help others escape, and when the Civil War took place, she helped in that, as well.
The book details her life in a way that young readers can understand, but it is also educational for adults as well.
I recommend this book to anyone, from elementary age to adult, who enjoys learning about history, and wants to know more about Harriet Tubman's life.
