Harriet Tubman, Force of Nature
—A biography in poems

When Harriet Tubman was born enslaved in Dorchester County, Maryland, in 1822, nobody knew this tiny Black girl-child would be so rooted in the natural world. Nobody knew she would find her way by the stars or move through the woods as silently as an owl or hear God speaking to her in trances. Nobody knew that, against all odds, she would use her oneness with the environment and spirit to escape the brutality that was slavery, rescue hundreds of others from the same fate, embrace the joys of freedom, and become a national hero.

Two pages from Harriet Tubman, Force of Nature showing the poem 'Born Day'. Dated 1822 and featuring a collage illustration of baby Araminta Ross and her parents under a tree.

Nobody knew she would become a force of nature.

Two pages from Harriet Tubman, Force of Nature showing two poems: Freedom-Bound, Underground and No Turning Back. Dated 1850 featuring a collage illustration of Harriet Tubman leading an enslaved family to freedom.

With compelling poetry perfect for reading aloud and luminous collage illustrations, Caroline Brewer brings readers of all ages the story of Harriet Tubman in a way it has never been told before.
