* A Picture Book of Harriet Beecher Stowe by David Adler  2003


This is a very informational read.  It is a great picture book with very realistic interpretations of what life back then was like.  Harriet Beecher Stowe was a very important woman who was a writer.  She wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin which was a book about how slaves were mistreated, and it was this woman who opened President Abraham's eyes about how devastating slavery was.  Harriet Beecher Stowe is considered a pioneer woman who changed the way slaves were treated and perhaps started the movement that freed them for good.
