An Apple for Harriet Tubman

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 loved but was forbidden to eat. Many people know about Harriet Tubman's courage and daring, but few know about her love for apples, and the freedom they symbolized. Full color.
