Critical Reviews

"Sharing a story of slavery isn't ever easy for any educator, yet Christine helps learners to think critically about American slavery while telling a more humanizing and accurate account of Harriet Tubman's life. Her developmentally appropriate language and visual graphics are just right for our elementary classrooms" --Britt Hawthorne, Anti-bias/Anti-racist Teacher-Educator (britthawthorne.com)

"What a beautiful biography of Harriet Tubman! Christine is a wonderful storyteller, finding just the right words for this important history. I loved the reflection questions, as well as how visually engaging this book is for young readers." --Jason Biehl, founder of Change The Narrative

"So many beautiful illustrations and interesting details about Araminta Ross aka the legendary Harriet Tubman!" --Lisa Trusiani, author of American Trailblazers: 50 Remarkable People Who Shaped U.S. History, winner of the 2019 Lupine Honors Award
