"When Harriet Green gave birth to her daughter, she held that baby close, whispered a sweet hello, and loved the child with all her heart. The newborn's father, Benjamin Ross, most likely cradled his tiny daughter. He was as proud as any daddy could be.
The baby was born on a night so dark, you couldn't see past its black. But the light in that child's eyes was brighter than bright. She had a twinkle about her that shone like the sky's prettiest stars." page 1
I can't tell you how many series biographies I've refused to read because the first line of the book is "In 18XX such and such was born to such and such in the country of such and such." So boring for our young readers. That's why I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THE APPEAL OF THIS BOOK. Andrea Davis Pinkney, as always, knows her audience!
I'd book talk this. Maybe read aloud the first page and then leave in the classroom library to be snatched up!
Looking forward to reading more from this series. Next up is Claudette Colvin by Lesa Cline-Ransome. Looks like Chelsea Clinton has recruited some very talented authors to support this endeavor.

Biography of Harriet Tubman, strongly based on her own words. The writing is lyrical and feels like a spoken word piece -- I can hear Andrea Davis Pinkney reading it in my head, and that is delightful. Brings a strong woman from history to life.

Inspiring stories (and there are so many) from the life of Harriet Tubman.
February 12, 2021
This is a solid young reader biography about Harriet Tubman. I learned many things I did not know about her. For instance, her childhood nickname was Minty and she did not start using the name Harriet until her first marriage. There's plenty of good information in this book, and the images are cute.

Fantastic deeper dive into Harriet’s life and achievements in a way that is approachable for children and adults. Love the activities given at the end of the book to go on a deeper dive. Must have for classrooms and libraries.

I have to admit, I am late to the party with the She Persisted series. For those of you who missed the memo like me, She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World is a picture book that was published back in 2017, written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. With a title inspired by a feminist rally cry (accidently coined by Mitch McConnell of all people), this picture book shared inspiring stories of 13 women who continued to persist and follow their dreams to accomplish extraordinary achievements. This book was followed up by two more picture books, She Persisted Around the World (published in 2018) and She Persisted in Sports (published in 2020).
I was so excited to find this series this year, because it’s a fantastic introduction to lots of different female role models and the concept of feminism as a whole. But I was even more excited to learn that Philomel Books is continuing the series in chapter books! There will be 13 books in the series released this year, one dedicated to each woman mentioned in the original picture book She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World.
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to review the first release in the chapter book series, She Persisted: Harriet Tubman, written by Andrea Davis Pinkney.
I know many of us are familiar with Harriet Tubman, but this book is perfect for young readers to learn more about her story.
Starting at her birth on the Edward Brodess plantation in Dorchester, Maryland, She Persisted: Harriet Tubman follows our heroine throughout the struggles of her childhood of being “rented” to cruel people. In six chapters, we learn about how Harriet Tubman grew up and escaped slavery, and how she risked her freedom to ensure others had theirs.
This book does not shy away from the ugly truths of slavery (including the traumatic brain injury Harriet Tubman suffered, causing a lifetime of seizures and hypersomnia), but cruelty and violence is introduced in an age-appropriate manner. I really appreciate the attention to Harriet’s disability, because I feel like this fact is often left out of her story.
There is an additional chapter at the end of the book with a list of activities for young readers to honor Harriet Tubman’s bravery, which I thought was a great idea to inspire children to take their reading a step further.
I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it for any young reader in your life. I have four nieces who are reading chapter books, and I am so excited to share this one with them!
Thank you so much to Philomel for providing me with the review copy and the opportunity. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!

I feel like I learn a new tidbit everytime I read or watch something about Harriet Tubman. I've been a "fan" (for lack of a better word) of Moses and her work since I did a book report on her in the 3rd grade. So, yes, I will read literally anything written about Harriet Tubman. And I think you all should too.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
It's been a minute since I picked up one of these She Persisted audio shorts. I know I'm certainly not the target audience for these, but I've found them super enjoyable, educational, and inspirational. I always appreciate learning more about the women who helped shape the world, in this case, Harriet Tubman. I also really like how each of these has a call to action at the end that encourages the reader to persist in their own ways.

Love the writing and the way this book is structured and paired with images. Endnotes include ways that you can "persist" in ways that honor Harriet, as well as sources to read more info.
Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

“The Underground Railroad’s powerful engine of people helping people was like a quiet storm that came through the whispers of generous folks saying, ‘Together we can!'”
When I was in elementary school, the public library in Rockford, Illinois, had a fabulous summer reading program. We didn’t just get points for each book we read – we had so many books in different categories to check off before we got prizes. Like, Caldecott winners, Newbery winners, plays, poetry, mysteries, biographies, etc. And one summer I distinctly remember reading a biography of Harriet Tubman, who quickly became one of my heroes. She remains one to this day, so I was excited to read this She Persisted book about her!
Despite the fact that it’s geared for ages 6-9 (or grades 1-4), I actually learned some things I didn’t already know. For instance, her middle name meant ‘prayer and protection’, and her childhood nickname ‘Minty’ was based on this beautiful name. I also didn’t realize that Harriet spent many years fighting for women’s rights, too. She Persisted: Harriet Tubman honors her story & her legacy well while introducing children to a true role model for courage and persistence.
There’s a lot of great information packed into this little book, but its story-like prose and warm illustrations make it accessible & entertaining to young readers. The author approaches slavery honestly without being graphic. The text doesn’t shy away (in an age-appropriate manner) from the cruelty that went along with being owned by someone else, while also emphasizing that it didn’t affect the enslaved people’s value as human beings “with dignity, self-respect, and intelligence.” Discussions about The Underground Railroad introduce children to the fact that kind people stood up for what was right & helped hide enslaved people who were escaping to freedom – I loved the way the Underground Railroad was presented and hope that learning about it inspires young readers like it did me when I first discovered it on the pages of a book.
Bottom Line: Harriet Tubman continues to be one of my heroes, and Andrea Davis Pinkney’s approach to her biography for elementary aged children even taught me some things too. I really appreciated that Harriet’s faith wasn’t overlooked and that it focuses on more than ‘just’ her work with the Underground Railroad, circling back to the idea that looking at only one aspect of your life does not fully define you – despite how society may want to box you in to a specific label or definition. Gillian Flint’s illustrations are delightful and help bring Harriet to life on the pages. Readers young and old alike will enjoy getting to know more about this brave & determined woman in She Persisted: Harriet Tubman.

We enjoyed the She Persisted picture books and needed to learn more about an American hero for our history unit this week so we chose Harriet Tubman, which we were already familiar with thanks to many fantastic nonfiction picture books, so we went ahead and borrowed this from our library.
This is not a picture book like the previous 'She Persisted' books, though it does have illustrations. It is a chapter book but at 70 pages it is a quick and informative read. We enjoyed going learning more about Harriet's life than we've covered in picture books!

I swear that I’ve read numerous books about Harriet Tubman, but for some reason some of these things I never came across, or they just never stuck with me. I didn’t remember reading that she had a sleeping disease after falling into a coma from being hit by an overseer in the head. I didn’t remember reading that she never knew her birth year… Sometime between 1820 and 1822. That’s an incredibly large span, considering how much we celebrate birthdays in our society nowadays. And for some reason, reading about her persistence and bravery in this book really really hit me hard. I love this part:
“When Harriet died of pneumonia in 1913, government officials in Auburn, New York, placed a glistening bronze plaque on the front entrance of the Auburn Courthouse to honor her. It says, ‘She braved every danger and overcame every obstacle.’”
A true hero. This book is beautiful.

Great Elementary Age Biography of Harriet Tubman
A very well written biography of Harriet Tubman by Andrea Davis Pinkney and illustrated by Gillian Flint. Part of Chelsea Clinton She Persisted series. Good story and great illustrations.

This is what I would call a WOW book! I am always looking for great biographical novels for the early chapter book readers. This was the perfect book! Pinkney gives the right amount of information without being overwhelming. There is plenty of white space on the pages and the illustrations sprinkled throughout the story are perfect for those readers who are beginning their adventure into chapter books. I will be purchasing several copies for our library. I hope the She Persisted series continues in this same direction.

In a similar vein to the successful picture book series, She Persisted, this biography of Harriet Tubman shows the many ways that Harriet persisted. From being born a slave and being mistreated by her owner to being the person responsible for leading many individuals to freedom, Harriet's story is impressive on several levels. This well-written and engaging biography pays tribute to her cleverness, her resilience, and her determination to live life on her terms. Not only does the book cover her formative years and as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, but it also highlights her work as a spy and her fight for a pension for the work that she had performed for the U.S. Army. Soft black-and-white sketches allow readers to form impressions of this strong, brave woman, making this a great addition to an elementary or intermediate grade library or classroom since Harriet serves as such a good role model of someone never willing to give up on her dreams of freedom. While many may have dreamed of heading to the North, Harriet made plans to do so, and then followed up on them, despite the risks.

I think this might be my favorite of the series so far. Despite knowing more about Harriet Tubman than many of the other women I've read about in this series, I feel like this one taught me so much! I didn't know about her involvement in the Civil War and her subsequent fight for veteran pay. What an amazing woman! I am a little bit disappointed that in the "How Can You Persist" chapter at the end, there wasn't any mention about doing something to help with the systemic racism that Black people still face. I definitely think it would have been an appropriate action to fit in with the others that were given.

Short but good source of history for kids
This was a good background history about Harriet Tubman, one of the women mentioned in the original She Persisted book.
This short chapter book is longer but still condensed enough for a kid to both enjoy and learn. The art was a nice touch too; beautiful work.
I enjoyed it and now want to check out the other chapter books dedicated to the women mentioned in She Persisted. I knew about Harriet but the original book mentioned woman I'd never heard of and I think these books are wonderful stories of woman who made history and made an impact 😊

This was my first “She Persisted” book, written by Andrea Davis Pinkney. Chelsea Clinton collaborated with various sister writers to complete the series. I think it's a good read along for the 4-6 age range and a good book for independent readers til about age 11. I learned a couple of things I didn’t know. Of course I already know that Harriet Tubman was brave, she had grit and she persisted!
I also liked the “how you can persist” section in the back of the book which provides suggested ways we all can persist!

Another outstanding book in this series. Davis Pinkney offers a look into Tubman's life from childhood through the Underground Railroad years. She captures the determination Harriet showed in the face of unspeakable situations. She escaped from slavery and rather than continue to run for freedom, she returned again and again to save others. Her compassion and commitment to freedom comes through clearly.
The writing appeals to middle grade readers and introduces them to this amazing woman. Further resources are included at the end.

Fantastic short book on Harriet Tubman. It includes a lot of information from her own words, has facts not typically seen in other biographies (like the nickname Minty), easy to read, pulls you in, and explains things in a factual but easy to understand way. While set up as a chapter book, an adult can finish it in about 15 minutes. It has a lot of info though and would recommend as a great way to learn about her life. Could work well as a read-aloud that could be finished in one to two days depending on your read-aloud time.
March 14, 2021
Well-chosen incidents in Harriet Tubman’s life make her story accessible to readers ages 6-9. Pinkney’s clear, direct prose is candid about slavery, but she does not dwell on brutal details that might unsettle young readers. She deftly appeals to a child’s sense of unfairness and desire for justice in telling this hero’s story.
Excellent literary devices, like comparing the night sky to a starry black cape, bring history alive. This book is a welcome addition to the body of chapter books for newly independent readers, and of history and biography for the same audience. Highly recommended.

A simple, chapter book introduction to Harriet Tubman for elementary school readers. More of a narrative non-fiction, than a timeline or fact-filled read. Readers will learn interesting factoids about Harriet Tubman, including how she got her scar, struggles she went through and overcame, as well as about her family life. A strong, smart, courageous woman who still hasn't received her just due after all this time.

This short read shares the life of Harriet Tubman, born in the 19th-century Southern United States during the era of slavery. It delves into Tubman's heroic actions, hardships, and her strong resistance against slavery. I found this overview intriguing, a more detailed account would offer a deeper understanding of her extraordinary life. Next, I am looking forward to reading a full fledged book on the life of Harriet Tubman.

This small chapter book biography on Harriet Tubman is a well written introductory summary of her life and times. This is the first in the She Persisted series that I have read and I look forward to checking out the rest. Elementary and middle school libraries and classrooms would be remiss in not having this be a part of their collection.

My 9-year-old daughter and I have been listening to the She Persisted series in the car. I think they are well done. Reminds me a lot of the Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls podcast and book. They give us good topics to discuss and I like the takeaways listed at the end of each book, ideas for how you can make a difference in your own life, the way the subject of the book did.
June 30, 2023
59 pgs. This is a well-written biography of a woman who helped so many people. Even though I have read many books on Harriet Tubman over the years, I learned new information about her that I did not previously know. This book is chronologically organized and easy to read. Kids will be able to use it for reports as well as reading for fun. Highly recommended for Grades 4-5 and up.
August 12, 2021
WOW! So much incredible information in such a small book! I had no idea that she took care of soldiers in the Civil War and fought for her right to get paid for that work. She continually fought against incredible odds and saved lives. So powerful!
