Writer Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara admits that as a young a girl, she used to read books under the covers with a flashlight once her mother had turned the light off. So it’s no surprise that she’s authored the amazing series of books, “Little People, Big Dreams,” which tell about the lives of outstanding people from designers and artists to scientist who went on to achieve incredible things.

“Harriet Tubman” tells the story of a woman who was born into slavery on a plantation in Maryland. She used all of her strength and bravery to escape and journey north on the Underground Railroad. Harriet made the dangerous mission back to the South many times, fighting her whole life to bring others with her to freedom.
