Many years ago, Harriet Tubman was born Araminta Ross, And she ran the Underground Railroad like a Total Boss! This biography of Harriet Tubman relates the story of an extraordinarily brave woman. Adversity could have been Harriet's middle name because she had every sling and arrow of outrageous fortune pointed against her. Born into slavery, she suffered a grievous head injury early on which left her suffering with terrible headaches and epilepsy for the rest of her life. Yet, she ran rescue operations to free people from slavery for over eight years, carrying a revolver for protection, sometimes camouflaging herself using loudly squawking chickens, disguising herself with large bonnets, and hiding behind large newspapers, pretending to read them. Harriet Tubman worked in the worst possible weathers when patrols were less likely to be out and about. She also worked as a nurse and spy during the Civil War, actively campaigned for Women's Suffrage, and continued to help newly freed people assimilate into society by providing for them despite her limited means. Her story is definitely one worth telling to children, not only because of her amazing bravery, but also because of her wonderful kindness and indomitable spirit which led her to risk everything to help everyone she could.

There are so many fictional books that make up brave characters but this is powerful to show kids that throughout history bravery can come from the least likely people. We enjoyed this true life story of a young girl who escaped slavery and spent the rest of her life saving others." - Amazon Customer "I bought this ebook during a promotion. This children's book introduces Harriet Tubman in a complete yet succinct way. It does not gloss over or sugarcoat the bad conditions at the time, and it amplifies how kind and courageous Harriet Tubman was. The illustrations are beautiful and the midsection of the book is inspiring. Book comes with a couple of activities as well." - Amazon Customer
