Moses By Carole Boston Weatherford

This is such a moving book.  The illustrations are works of art...I would hang them on my wall!  This is not the Biblical account of Moses.  This is the story of Harriet Tubman, the Moses of her people.  It is her story told in conversations with God.  Her struggle for her own freedom and then her decision to go back and help others find freedom. She expresses her concerns and fears to God and He directs her and comforts her.  It is an emotional and beautiful retelling of the story.
