Booklist - 08/01/2024 A part of Meltzer and Eliopoulos’ popular Ordinary People Change the World series, this installment focusing on Harriet Tubman is now available in Spanish in this beautiful translation by Mendoza. Beginning with her early life as Amarinta, the fifth child of nine, the narrative follows the girl born into slavery as she meets other enslaved people on the plantation and fuels her desire for freedom. Eventually, she changes her name to Harriet Tubman to conceal her identity and embarks on a difficult journey with the North Star as her guide to the Underground Railroad, finding helpful people, both Black and white, along the way and ultimately risking the route 13 more times to guide her family and many others to freedom. Eliopoulos’ comics pages make this account of history inviting and digestible, with important, evocative details about the environment in the background illustrations. The robust back matter has a time line, photos, and further references. Eight other entries in this kid-favorite series are currently available in Spanish under the series title Gente común y corriente que cambió el mundo. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
