One day I am going to be free―and I'm going to have all the apples I want.

Like other enslaved African American children, young Harriet Tubman had to work hard. In her master's orchard, she spent long hours picking the juicy apples she was forbidden to eat. Harriet vowed to one day be free and to grow apple trees of her own. When she was grown, she made her escape to the North. Then, repeatedly risking her life, she returned to lead many other African Americans to freedom.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Best Children's Books of the Year, Bank Street College



"The simplicity of Turner's telling does not take away from the power of the underlying issues of slavery, danger and the freedom represented by those apples. Keeter's richly colored illustrations capture the verdant landscape during Tubman's days of slavery and the deep blue of the night sky as she leads her people to safety. A satisfying addition to the already fascinating story."―Kirkus Reviews



"This book is an excellent introduction to a complex topic, providing children with a way to make a personal connection with a girl whose life was very different from their own. It gives parents and teachers a starting point for discussions about slavery, race, freedom, and heroism."―School Library Journal



"The story, with its concrete details, works as both fact and metaphor, bring the transformation to full circle―from the scars of suffering to the fruit of freedom."―Booklist



"Her bravery is inspiring, but equally moving is the significance of an adult Harriet Tubman inviting people to share in the apples that she had grown. This emotional story is exceptionally well written and the colorful illustrations are wonderful."―Children's Literature



"Children will connect with the young Harriet through this story and at the same time learn about her courageous life. Educators may integrate this story into any of their lessons on African-American history, biographies, or character education. This book is a fresh addition for young children to read and learn about Harriet Tubman."―Library Media Connection

    Powerful story that captures Harriet Tubman's bravery and kindness. The excellent storytelling and lavish illustrations captivated my kids' attention. My five year old almost cried the first time we read it because of the injustice and cruelty Harriet faced, and was overjoyed when Harriet finally got her apples. We've read it over and over and my kids don't tire of hearing it again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER POWERFUL CHILDREN'S BOOK!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2013
    AN APPLE FOR HARRIET TUBMAN by Glennette Tilley Turner,illustrated by Susan Keeter is an powerful Children's books/Educational. We all know that Harriet Tubman was the greatest conductor of the Underground Railroad. But did you know she was a Union Army nurse,a scout for the Civil War or that she loved apples? Which are just a few of the things you will learn in this title. Well written in a way young readers can understand,with beautiful illustrations,and engaging characters. A powerful and engaging story from beginning to end. Historical lovers will also enjoy this title. A must read for not only young readers,but for grandchildren,and educators alike. A wonderful teaching tool. Received for an honest review from the publisher.
