The life stories of two pivotal figures in American history-Harriet
Tubman and Sojourner Truth-are explored in this powerful text
paired with spectacular artwork. "A beautiful, uplifting book that
is sure to inspire interest in these strong, amazing women."
(School Library Journal) This powerful picture book relates the
lives of Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth on alternating pages,
leading up to the day they likely met in Boston in 1864. Share this
book in the classroom or at home as an introduction to these two
American heroes. A strong companion to such books as Moses: When
Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom and Henry's Freedom Box: A
True Story from the Underground Railroad. "Compellingly told with a
sure storyteller's cadence. Both women renamed themselves, taking
ownership of their lives and leading and inspiring others on the
road to freedom." (School Library Journal) Shane W. Evans's art in
When Harriet Met Sojourner was praised as having a "strength of
line and eloquence of expression that would suit a mural and that
will carry well in a group showing." (Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books) His books include We March and 28 Days: Moments
in Black History that Changed the World.
