Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom

Written by: Carole Boston Weatherford
Illustrated by: Kadir Nelson

Elementary and Junior High Grades

"This lyrical text describes Harriet Tubman's spiritual journey as she hears the voice of God guiding her North to freedom on that very first trip to escape the brutal practice of slavery. This is a moving portrait of one of the most inspiring figures of the Underground Railroad--a woman who would take 19 subsequent trips back South without being caught."
