She learned to use the North Star for a compass, to tell time by the stars, and to find her way by natural signs as well as any hunter could. She could navigate dense forests, locate waterways in the area, and identify the white Quakers and black mariners who were willing to help enslaved people escape. When Tubman first fled north, she knew she might never have another chance to run away. Yet after she arrived safely in the free city of Philadelphia, she risked her own freedom again and again to help other Freedom Seekers--and those she'd had to leave behind. She never forgot her family in Maryland, and on Christmas Day, 1854, Tubman returned again, hoping to give three of her brothers the best possible gift--the gift of freedom! This historical picture book about the legendary Underground Railroad conductor, abolitionist, and suffragist was written based on personal interviews with Tubman's last surviving relative. A story of courage, hope, and family, The Gift of Freedom takes readers on an inspiring journey during one of America's darkest times. Includes a letter to readers, an author's note, and a bibliography"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2942514</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S138C2942514</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Turner, Glennette Tilley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sppl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2942514138</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Harriet Tubman Rescued Her Brothers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419769290/MC.GIF&amp;client=sntpapl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1493511950</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[And She Was Loved]]></title><description><![CDATA["Who was Toni Morrison?

With biographies of figures who shaped important events and mouthwatering recipes that carry their essence, this book will inspire future leaders with real stories of trailblazers who helped to change the world. One event per month is highlighted. After sharing the story of a person related to each event--such as Dorothy Height for International Women's Day in March--Platt pairs each moment with a delectable recipe that carries the essence of the occasion. All the stories and recipes featured are inspired by his grandmother; the person who guided him in unearthing his Black heritage and moved him to fall in love with cooking. Each page features engaging color illustrations from Alleanna Harris.
