Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom

With poetic writing, Weatherford tells the story of Tubman’s escape from slavery -- and then her determination to bring more slaves to freedom, whatever the personal cost. Tubman’s religious faith drives her personal quest to lead African-American slaves through the Underground Railroad; this quest is interwoven with the Biblical story of Moses leading Hebrew slaves to the Promised Land; the comparison shows how apt Tubman’s nickname of “Moses” really is.

This stunning picture book is a resounding tribute to Tubman's strength, humility, and devotion. With proper reverence, Weatherford and Nelson do justice to the woman who, long ago, earned over and over the name Moses.
