Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom by: Carole Boston Weatherford, Illustrated by: Kadir Nelson

Right off the bat, readers will fall in love with this book because of its amazing illustrations. I believe Kadir Nelson's pictures display such a powerful and strong support to the text. The text itself is very interesting because it is somewhat lyrical and readers feel as if God is really speaking in the book. I like the way the text is depicted in the book and how the words of God are bigger and sometimes do not follow a straight line. They stand out to show how important his words were to Harriet. You get the sense that this is the only thing that really is keeping her going...faith. I really like this book and think it explains Harriet Tubman's spiritual journey towards freedom very well to children.
