Harriet Tubman, Force of NatureHarriet Tubman, Force of Nature

"When Harriet Tubman was born enslaved in Dorchester County, Maryland in 1822, nobody knew this tiny black girl-child would be so rooted in the natural world. Nobody knew she would find her way by the stars or move through the woods as silently as an owl or hear God speaking to her in trances. Nobody knew that, against all odds, she would use her oneness with the environment and spirit to escape the brutality that was slavery, rescue hundreds of others from the same fate, embrace the joys of freedom, and become a national hero. Nobody knew she would be a force of nature. With compelling poetry perfect for reading aloud and luminous collage illustrations, Caroline Brewer brings readers of all ages the story of Harriet Tubman in a way it has never been told before." --Jacket flap.
