This book was a biography, which is a type of nonfiction book. The book discussed the life of Harriet Tubman. She was born in 1820 or 1821, and she was one of eleven kids. Harriet, her parents, and her siblings were all slaves. Harriet was often disobedient and got in trouble. Her master would whip her for punishment. During this time, abolitionists began to speak out against slavery. Also, Nat Turner led a rebellion against slave owners and their families. Harriet saw him as a true Moses, and she wanted to be like him, leading people out of slavery. Meanwhile, Harriet met a man named John Tubman and married him. One day, Harriet escaped with three of her brothers. Her brothers ended up going back home, but Harriet left again a few days later. She traveled along the Underground Railroad and became a free woman! Harriet ended up helping other slaves to freedom as a “conductor” on the Underground Railroad. Many people called Harriet Tubman “Moses,” and this was a compliment for her. Harriet Tubman was never caught. In 1860, while Tubman was still alive, Abraham Lincoln became president and soon after that, the Civil War began. In 1865, slavery was ended in the United States. Harriet Tubman was always very brave, and many people long ago and still today admire her.
This was a very informational book. This would be a great book to have in the classroom for students to use for research. I remember writing a report on Harriet Tubman in elementary school, and this book would have been very helpful. This book might also be used during Black History Month. Many students have heard of Harriet Tubman and admire her. They might want to read this book, so it would be great to always have it available. The book has lots of information, but it is still on a level that kids can understand. The details were basic and not too complex, making it a great book for doing basic research. The pictures in the book are great, and they can really help children connect to Harriet Tubman and what she went through. Some students might have had ancestors who were slaves, and they might especially want to read this book. Harriet Tubman is a hero for many people, and therefore her biography is very important for everyone, including elementary students!
