Based on real events, Schroeder constructs a story about Harriet Tubman's childhood as a slave on a Maryland plantation. Presents slavery in all of its ugliness and emphasizes young Harriet's strong desire for freedom. Detailed and colorful illustrations (colored pencil, watercolor). Author's Note gives a brief overview of her adult life.

My 8 y/o daughter loved this book. she has been slightly obsessed with Harriet Tubman and slavery so this was a great book for her. it's beautifully illustrated and is a great supposed account of what a young Harriet Tubman's childhood was like as a slave.
