When we were first assigned to read What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? and Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom, I expected them to be like the picture books I remember. I remember picture books having a few words and lots of pictures. I don’t even remember the pictures being very detailed, kind of like cartoon pictures. I was very shocked after reading both of these books. The illustrations were amazing. Kadir Nelson and Steve Jenkins are very talented. Both illustrators brought the pictures to life with their use of their artistic medium. In Moses, the way Kadir Nelson drew and painted Harriet Tubman’s face really portrayed how she was feeling at the time. Carole Boston Weatherford did a great job in bringing in an important woman in history through a story. Robin Page did a great job with informing the reader about the different animals and their body parts and how they use them. I thought it was great how both books had extra information in the back. I learned a lot more about what certain animals were and where they are from. It was good to have a recap of who Harriet Tubman was and how courageous she was. Her story really made realized that everyone needs to have a little more faith in God and trust that he’ll lead us in the right direction and protect us. Harriet Tubman sure knew he would.
