Book Reviews of Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom (Caldecott Honor Book)
Book Review: gorgeous illustration, moving story, and unique approach to the subject
Summary: 5 Stars
This book weaves the life story of Harriet Tubman, known as Moses, with the actual Biblical story of Moses. This very unique approach surprised me, but as I moved through the book I was struck by how moving and poetic this storytelling method was.
The author and illustrator bring Harriet Tubman alive as a real person who endured pain and fear for a higher purpose. Many books about African Americans have good intentions but fall short-- this book succeeds in achieving a real, powerful emotional connection with the reader.
The author's conceptualization of this book was brilliant, and the illustrator's contribution is a great achievement. Highly recommended for lovers of beautiful illustration, those who care about teaching children about our nation's past and true heroes. Religious readers will appreciate the scriptural approach, but the non-religious can also appreciate this book due to the historical reality that Tubman was seen as the Moses of her people.
