Who Was Harriet Tubman? (Who Was... Biography Series)

Who Was Harriet Tubman? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, illustrated by Nancy Harrison

Born a slave in Maryland, Harriet Tubman knew first-hand what it meant to be someone's property; she was whipped by owners and almost killed by an overseer. It was from other field hands that she first heard about the Underground Railroad which she travelled by herself north to Philadelphia. Throughout her long life (she died at the age of ninety-two) and long after the Civil War brought an end to slavery, this amazing woman was proof of what just one person can do.

Why We Love It

The Who Was... series of biographies are an interesting way for children to learn about important people in history. The text is easy to read, detailed enough to provide insight into the person's life, and full of black and white illustrations to help children remember visually what they read.
