Nikki Grimes offers a glimpse into the inspiring lives of Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman, with breathtaking illustrations by Michele Wood! What if Harriet Tubman and Susan B. Anthony sat down over tea to reminisce about their extraordinary lives? What would they recall of their triumphs and struggles as they fought to achieve civil rights for African Americans and equal rights for women? And what other historical figures played parts in their stories? These questions led Coretta Scott King Award winner Nikki Grimes to create Chasing Freedom, an engaging work of historical fiction about two of the nineteenth century's most powerful, and inspiring, American women. With breathtaking illustrations by Coretta Scott King Award winner Michele Wood, Chasing Freedom richly imagines the experiences of Tubman and Anthony, set against the backdrop of the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, and the Women's Suffrage Movement. Additional back matter invites curious young readers to further explore this period in history--and the larger-than-life figures who lived it.

This Biography book about two of the women who championed anti-slavery and women‘s suffrage is perfect for ELA infusion is social studies. This book has a lesson plan from the publisher https://www.nikkigrimes.com/images/pdf/ChasingFreedomClassroomGuide.pdf that is quite heavy on reading and writing. As far as ESOL modification go, 29 and 31 would be perfect. They both involve modifying content and instructions in simpler English.

ebrown The provided lesson plan is compliant with UDL strategies for perception (1.1-1.3) offering alternatives for auditory and visual information. #ucflae3414f19 5y

A beautifully illustrated children's book with brief biographies of the lives of Harriet Tubman and Susan B. Anthony, written as an imagined conversation between the two women before a women's rights meeting in 1904.

Interesting idea having Harriet Tubman and Susan B Anthony reminisce about their lives. Transitions from one's story to the other is awkward and sometimes jarring. A reader will learn more about each woman but it's the context of the premise that's odd.
