內容簡介

An easy-to-read, page-turning account of Harriet Tubman's life—from her childhood in slavery to her years as a conductor on the Underground Railroad to her later work as a suffragette and as a spy in the Civil War. This remarkable true story brings to life one of America's greatest female role models.

作者簡介

Monica Kulling was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. When she was seven, she moved with her family to her father's boyhood home in Switzerland. Here Monica continued with grade one, the big difference being she didn't understand a word anyone was saying!

The big adventure lasted only a year. Monica and her family moved back to British Columbia to live in the small town of Chilliwack in the heart of the Fraser Valley. Monica's parents operated a delicatessen, where Monica and her four siblings worked, each in their turn.

Monica was now in grade two and speaking English all the time, which suited her better. She wasn't the kind of girl who always had her nose in a book or kept a diary of all the great girl things she was doing, and she never won a spelling bee!

Monica was an outdoor girl. She loved recess and playing marbles or dodge ball, red rover or baseball. After school, Monica climbed trees, played baseball even in the rain, and rode her bike all over town. On weekends, she took her younger sister and brother to the movies.

Monica loved comic books. They gave her a chance to practice her reading! Nancy and Sluggo and the Superheroes were special favourites.

Monica lived the life of a free-range kid. She had plenty of time to go where she wanted, to sit under a tree and daydream, and to have adventures.

Monica still didn't read much, even in high school. She did love the illustrated classic comic books and had the entire collection of almost 200. These comics gave her an intimate knowledge of the great works of literature in the English language.

If Monica didn't especially like to read or write, how did she get started as a writer? She loved music, especially the music of the sixties and the lyrics of poets like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. When she was sixteen, Monica heard the words of Paul Simon in his song "The Boxer" and those of Joni Mitchell in her song "Both Sides Now," and she was blown away.

Monica was glued to the radio and records, going over the poetry of the lyrics in her mind. She had long ago put away comic books and taken up the guitar. She soon became hooked on the passion and poetry of the wonderful song writers of the day--Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Laura Nyro, and many more. Monica was also studying poetry in school and was soon reading the great poets, because she wanted to, not because she had to.

Monica started to write her own poems and, after high school, studied creative writing at the University of Victoria. In her final year, she took a course in children's literature. She loved it so much, she began to write for children. In 1992, she published her first book, a picture book about an orange cat, called I Hate You, Marmalade!

Monica Kulling lives in Toronto, Ontario.

精彩書評

"This biography of Harriet Tubman introduces young children to the idea of slavery and relates how one woman became a "conductor" on the underground railroad. A brave and courageous woman, she is credited with making nineteen trips south and bringing more than three hundred people out of slavery. Part of the "STEP into Reading" series."

多讀書，可以讓你全身都有禮節。俗話說：“第一印象最重要。”從你留給彆人的第一印象中，就可以讓彆人看齣你是什麼樣的人。所以多讀書可以讓人感覺你知書答禮，頗有風度。

讀書能陶冶人的情操，給人知識和智慧。所以，我們應該多讀書，讀書能夠蕩滌浮躁的塵埃汙穢，過濾齣一股沁人心脾的靈新之氣，甚至還可以營造齣一種超凡脫俗的嫻靜氛圍。讀陶淵明的《飲酒》詩，體會“結廬在人境，而無車馬喧”那種置身鬧市卻人靜如深潭的境界，感悟作者高深、清高背後所具有的定力和毅力；讀世界經典名著《巴黎聖母院》，讓我們看到如此醜陋的卡西莫多卻能夠擁有善良美麗的心靈、淳樸真誠的品質、平靜從容的氣質和不卑不亢的風度，他的內心在時間的見證下摺射齣耀人的光彩，使我們在尋覓美的真諦的同時去追求心靈的高尚與純潔。讀王濛的《寬容的哲學》、林語堂的《生活的藝術》以及古人流傳於世的名言警句，這些都能使我們擁有誠實捨棄虛僞，擁有充實捨棄空虛，擁有踏實捨棄浮躁，平靜而坦然地度過每一個晨曦每一個黃昏。
