An Apple for Harriet Tubman

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-0395-9 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Keeter. This vignette depicts a childhood incident in which a foreman whipped Harriet Tubman after she picked and ate an apple--an event that may have served as a catalyst in the life of the Underground Railroad leader. The illustrations present far too pristine a picture of slave life on a plantation, but the slight story is an accessible introduction to Tubman.
