Wow, this is a beautiful, moving, strong book. I can't think of a single thing I would do to improve it. Written as a dialogue between Harriet and God, it then tells the actions she took as a result. So simple, and so profound.
The illustrations are stunning. The story is kind of a drag to read aloud, which was a disappointment.

Such a great book for Easter weekend. A study in the power of faith.
This book is beautifully written and illustrated. Great to use for Black-History Month and you could even use it if you taught high school.
I loved this book. It really brought to me how special Harriet Tubman really was and is. The spirit was so strong when I read it!
I loved the lyrical quality of this book. A beautifully written and illustrated story.
A bit confusing in that the Author's Note states this is a fictional story. However, excellent introduction to slavery in the forward. I had not realized she was such a religious person. Her horrific childhood and forced marriage is also covered in the Author's Note. A $40,000 dollar reward was offered for her capture. 19 trips back and she never lost a passenger.
Wordy and offbeat. Nelson's illustrations delight. My favorite of his work.
The direct voice of god made this a little awkward to read aloud to my littles. I wouldn't want to change it since that was how Harriet experienced it but I think it works a bit better for those who can read to themselves.
