Harriet Tubman

I'm curious about the creative choices behind making Harriet Tubman's story accessible to younger readers. Did the author focus on certain aspects to resonate with middle-grade audiences?

Her daring escapes and leadership are incredible, but I felt like I got a deeper sense of her character. How did the author balance historical accuracy with storytelling to achieve this?

The book emphasizes her courage, but I'm wondering how the author decided which parts of her life to focus on to convey her resilience.
