A lush and lyrical biography of Harriet Tubman, written in verse and illustrated by an award-winning artist. We know her today as Harriet Tubman, but in her lifetime she was called by many names.

An evocative poem and opulent watercolors come together to honor a woman of humble origins whose courage and compassion make her larger than life.
