About I Love My Family, I Do

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the meaning of loyalty or when you want to introduce history through the lens of emotional connection rather than just dates and facts. It is a perfect choice for children who feel a strong protective bond with their siblings or parents, as it reframes Harriet Tubman's historical journey as a mission of profound family devotion. This biography focuses on Harriet's early life and her daring returns to the South to rescue her loved ones. While it addresses the reality of slavery, the narrative is anchored in the themes of love and bravery. It is developmentally appropriate for children ages 4 to 9, offering a gentle but honest introduction to justice and freedom while emphasizing that the greatest courage often comes from the desire to keep our family safe and together.
