From Booklist
Not only is it easy to read but the plain prose adds to the elemental escape-and-rescue drama in this My First Biography title: To be a slave meant that someone else owned you. That person could make you work very, very hard. That person could even sell you like a sack of potatoes. Harriet didnt want to be a slave. She wanted to be free. With just one or two sentences on each double-page spread, the book also features illustrations that show the brave young runaway following the North Star, hiding with help until at last she was free, and then returning so many times to rescue those left behind. The text also mentions her role as a spy during the Civil War. Great for reading aloud as well as for young kids to read on their own, the tense accounts of Tubmans life, always hiding, always moving at night, will drive readers to find out more about the Underground Railroad. Preschool-Grade 2. --Hazel Rochman
