Synopsis

Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom is an awarded picture book about Harriet Tubman, one of the most inspiring figures of the Underground Railroad. Harriet leaves her family and plantation behind, led by God, to find free land in the north. She takes nothing but her faith and travels through woods to safety. Along her tiring and long journey, she trusts people who could easily turn her in, sleeps in fear, and most importantly, relies on God. Harriet ultimately escapes the brutal practice of forced servitude and then, after missing and thinking about her family, bravely returns to help many others make the same journey to find freedom.
