Recenzii
"This powerful picture book relates the lives of Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth on alternating pages, leading up to the women’s meeting in Boston in 1864. Compellingly told with a sure storyteller’s cadence, Clinton’s chronicle does not spare readers the harshness of the subjects’ young years; they suffered beatings, witnessed siblings and family members sold away, endured hard labor, and risked everything for freedom. Both women renamed themselves, taking ownership of their lives and leading and inspiring others on the road to freedom. Evans uses strong outlines to create striking images in rich earth tones." — School Library Journal
“Clinton and Evans deliver gripping parallel portraits of Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth.” — Publishers Weekly
“The compelling parallel narratives of two women ‘joined by a kinship of spirit’ still add up to a stirring history.” — ALA Booklist
"Evans's mixed-media art, combining line, paint, and textiles in three-quarter-spread illustrations, has an epic yet contemporary tone; the images, dramatic portraiture, have 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
