Harriet Tubman was born enslaved, but she had the courage to run to freedom – and then the courage to return, over and over, to help more slaves find their way to safety. As a conductor for the Underground Railroad, Tubman never lost a "passenger." But in order to help even more people, Tubman continued her fight for freedom as a master spy for the North during the Civil War!
The friendly, fun Ordinary People Change the World picture book biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great -- the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of one of America's icons in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos.For more resources about this American hero, visit our Harriet Tubman Collection.
