The Story of Harriet Tubman: A Biography Book for New Readers by Christine Platt
5.0
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher to leave an honest review.
“The Story of Harriet Tubman” was a wonderful route! I felt the author, Christine Platt, was very intentional with her story outline, and her vocabulary usage. I appreciate her consistent usage of “enslaved people” instead of “slaves”.
The general layout of the book is great! The illustrations are beautiful, and are on almost every single page bringing the information to life! There are great text features such as timelines or thinking questions that really help tie the whole story together too. The glossary and discussing questions and quiz all at the end of the book are greatly appreciated as well.
I teach upper elementary and feel that this book would be appropriate for second graders up through sixth graders, honestly. The information is good/detailed, but not gory. I learned quite a bit too about Harriet Tubman! Love this book! :)
