Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Young Harriet Tubman
Anne Benjamin · 1992
72/100
👍 Worth It
A reliable classroom biography that covers Tubman's full life with respect and historical accuracy, in language genuinely accessible to early readers. The early-reader format means things get compressed, but for a first introduction to Tubman this does the job well. The difficult history is handled honestly, not sanitized.
