内容简介

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.

作者简介

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.

精彩书评

"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."

古人云：“书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。”可见，古人对读书的情有独钟。其实，对于任何人而言，读书最大的好处在于：它让求知的人从中获知，让无知的人变得有知。读史蒂芬?霍金的《时间简史》和《果壳中的宇宙》，畅游在粒子、生命和星体的处境中，感受智慧的光泽，犹如攀登高山一样，瞬间眼前呈现出仿佛九叠画屏般的开阔视野。于是，便像李白在诗中所写到的“庐山秀出南斗旁，屏风九叠云锦张，影落明湖青黛光”。

我还记得其中有一个小鸭子的故事，故事中的主角丑小鸭出生在一个鸭子的家庭，兄弟姐妹都长者一身金灿灿的羽毛，而它却与众不同，长者一身黑黝黝的羽毛，因此不受大家的欢迎，十分自卑。后来，它长成了一只美丽的白天鹅。这个故事如果不仔细的阅读，只会觉得它是一个普通的童话故事，要是好好的去体会它的意境，你就会认为里面蕴藏着一个道理。童话中的丑小鸭因自己的外表丑陋，遭到了周期所有人对它的鄙视。可它并没有在意，只管自己努力做事。慢慢地它长大了，凭着自己的才能，变成了一只漂亮的白天鹅。这个故事告诉了我们一个道理，一个人身处逆境时，不能消沉，不能自卑，要勇于奋斗，才有可能改变自己的处境。
