Harriet Tubman grew up enslaved, but she knew she deserved to be free. Despite brutal treatment by slaveowners, she held onto the hope that she could escape — and succeeded. But that wasn't enough: she still had family who were slaves, and there were so many others who wanted to run but didn't know where to go. Even though she faced arrest, re-enslavement, and worse, she returned to the South over and over, becoming one of the most successful "conductors" for the Underground Railroad.
Told in the beloved Little Golden Book format, with vibrant illustrations, this is a compelling biography of the American abolitionist hero who refused to give up her belief that everyone deserved to be free.
