Who was Harriet Tubman before she was Harriet?

We know her today as Harriet Tubman, but in her lifetime she was called by many names. As General Tubman she was a Union spy. As Moses she led hundreds to freedom on the Underground Railroad. As Minty she was a slave whose spirit could not be broken. As Araminta she was a young girl whose father showed her the stars and the first steps on the path to freedom.

An evocative poem and stunning watercolors come together to honor a woman of humble origins whose courage and compassion make her a larger than life hero.

A lush and lyrical biography of Harriet Tubman, written in verse and illustrated by James Ransome, winner of the Coretta Scott King medal for The Creation.

Excellent durability for daily wear
Color: Gold Paperclip
I bought these earrings a year ago and I've been wearing them ever since! I never take them off because they are so comfortable. They never come unlatched and they are very durable. They look great and I love how they have some movement because of the two loops hooked together. For me the size is perfect, but you can always remove the dangling hoop to decrease the weight and create a smaller look. Even with booth hoops installed, they are so light that I cannot feel them in my ears. They would make a lovely gift because they look more expensive than the price I paid.

Good quality
Lovely earrings. A little smaller than I expected but Going to keep them. A reasonable purchase. Lightweight and clasp a little tight but better than loose.

Cute but small
Color: Gold Paperclip
These are cute but they are smaller than I thought they would be. The only thing I did not like was that they kept coming apart. The two links would unhook and one hook would fall off. I squeezed them a little tighter and that helped.
