The Story of Harriet Tubman: An Inspiring Biography for Young Readers (The Story of Biographies)

This book is very informative and an easy read for a 1st going on 2nd grader. My child is typically easily distracted, but she is breezing through this book.

Very good book

I enjoy reading from this series.

This book is not what I expected. I wanted biography-style info about Harriet Tubman to read to my children, but this book assumes the reader doesn’t even know what slavery is. This is not the case for our family, so I was disappointed in how the material was presented and organized - at first. But once I read through it, I came to appreciate how the author pulled together historical information at a children’s reading level and the illustrations keep a child’s attention. I recommend letting your child read out loud to your family, rather than reading it to them yourself, like I did. It will definitely spark good conversation and be a great history lesson for the whole family.

I bought this because Harriet Tubman was a legit super hero and I was peeved they didn’t mention her during Black history month at my daughter’s school. I had to edit some of the language as it gives some descriptions of the physical abuse she endured while enslaved which can be a lot for little kids to hear. My daughter is 6 and was in awe of the bad-@ssery of Harriet’s life. I love how it pulls no punches on the story. It helped open up conversations on race and equality in today’s society as well. My daughter went to school after to tell everyone how awesome Harriet Tubman was, so mission complete.

Enjoyed reading this book to my child. The drawings are attention grabbing and it introduces my child to the history of slavery in America and the important people who actively fought against it such as Harriet Tubman. My child also found it easy to read.

Good

Love the American history and the kids ages were they can read and understand.Make more or have more available.New/ used at a discount price.

Such a good book especially if you consider talking about civil war with your kids. Very interesting and it explains Harriet Tubman’s life in a very good way. I love the fact that there’s a little quiz at the end so your kids can make sure they understood. + the drawings are amazing!

I was really impressed with her story. I can easily imagine how hard it was to do the right thing as a human being in the situation that supporting enslaved people was considered illegal based on the wrong laws. She must have a strong belief to her actions. I didn’t know she also had a great role in the civil war though it was sad she didn’t get the money she was promised.

The book is a short introduction about Harriet and her achievements. The timeline idea at the end of each section is wonderful 👍👍👍.
