Now in paperback, here is the story of Harriet Tubman's pivotal role in the fight against slavery, part of the New York Times bestselling biography series about heroes, for ages 5 to 9.

Harriet Tubman's heroic and pivotal role in the fight against slavery is the subject of the fourteenth picture book in this New York Times bestselling biography series.

This friendly, fun biography series focuses on the traits that made our heroes great--the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. Each book tells the story of one of America's icons in a lively, conversational way that works well for the youngest nonfiction readers and that always includes the hero's childhood influences. At the back are an excellent timeline and photos.

After escaping from slavery herself, Harriet Tubman risked her life and her freedom to help other enslaved people reach safety via the Underground Railroad. She is one of America's most important humanitarian and civil rights heroes.

This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are-

. A timeline of key events in the hero's history

. Photos that bring the story more fully to life

. Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable

. Childhood moments that influenced the hero

. Facts that make great conversation-starters

. A virtue this person embodies- Harriet Tubman's selflessness and commitment to freeing other enslaved people is spotlighted in this biography.
