Mom's Review


The collages and poems detailing events in the life of Harriet Tubman bring this historic woman to life. Some may balk at poetry. As one who has done this herself, I can assure you - Brewer's work will captivate you as it illuminates the past. Each word is chosen with such care that you cannot help but feel you understand Tubman better by the end. And the collage in the perfect format to reflect the complexity and diversity of Tubman's experiences that together made her the woman she was. Be sure to read the back matter, especially the note about illustrations. You will appreciate the newsprint clothing even more that way.
