This story through verse spoke to me because of the subject. This is the story of Harriet Tubman and all she risked to help slaves escape to the promised land. I think the story as much as the illustrations will lead to much discussion on respect and social justice. I will use this book in my grade 5 Social Studies as one of the topics is the Underground Railway. I would then ask students to research another activist and perform a character sketch about the person.
