A note for parents
This Caldecott Honor picture book tells Harriet Tubman's spiritual journey to freedom with reverence and age-appropriate language. While it addresses the reality of slavery and the dangers of escape, the illustrations and text focus on hope, faith, and courage rather than graphic trauma. It's an excellent introduction to an important historical figure and teaches children about freedom, resilience, and resistance to injustice.

From the publisher
Describes Tubman's spiritual journey as she hears the voice of God guiding her north to freedom on that very first trip to escape the brutal practice of forced servitude. Tubman would make nineteen subsequent trips back south, never being caught, but none as profound as this first one.
