Publisher's Summary

Inspired by the number one New York Times best seller She Persisted by Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger comes a chapter-book series about women who stood up, spoke up, and rose up against the odds!

Born enslaved, Harriet Tubman rose up to become one of the most successful, determined, and well-known conductors of the Underground Railroad. With her family's love planted firmly in her heart, Harriet looked to the North Star for guidance - and its light helped guide her way out of slavery. Her courage made it possible for her to help others reach freedom, too.

In this chapter book biography by best-selling and award-winning author Andrea Davis Pinkney, listeners learn about the amazing life of Harriet Tubman - and how she persisted. Complete with an introduction from Chelsea Clinton!
