(4) K-3 Illustrated by Shane W. Evans. The lyrical, descriptive narrative tells, in parallel, biographical information about Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. Despite the book's title, the "paths cross" moment is anticlimactic, with no definitive historical record of the event. The bold, textured illustrations in blues, browns, and gold are uncluttered and expansive. An appended epilogue gives more information about the women, though no sources are included.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
