Book Reviews of Who Was Harriet Tubman? (Who Was...?)
Book Review: A good introduction to a courageous woman and an important topic for older primary school children
Summary: 4 Stars
Harriet Tubman was the first woman to act as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, the network of contacts that enabled slaves to escape from the Southern states in the years leading up to the American Civil War.
Her story is little known in Britain, but the issues are covered well here and woven into a readable and inspiring narrative in a style similar to the Scholastic series "My Story" in this reasonably priced American edition. It's ideal for introducing Key Stage 2 (9-11 year old) children to the topic of slavery in an absorbing and thought-provoking way.
