Harriet Tubman, Force of Nature

The extraordinary life of Black American abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman told through rhythm, rhyme and collage illustrations. When Harriet Tubman was born enslaved in Maryland, USA, in 1822, nobody knew this tiny Black child would be so rooted in the natural world. Nobody knew she would find her way by the stars or move through the woods as silently as an owl or hear God speaking to her in trances. Nobody knew that she would use her oneness with the environment and spirit to escape the brutality that was slavery, rescue hundreds of others from the same fate, and embrace the joys of freedom. Nobody knew she would become a force of nature. With compelling poetry perfect for reading aloud and luminous collage illustrations, Caroline Brewer brings readers of all ages the story of Harriet Tubman in a way it has never been told before.
