內容簡介

An easy-to-read, page-turning account of Harriet Tubman's life—from her childhood in slavery to her years as a conductor on the Underground Railroad to her later work as a suffragette and as a spy in the Civil War. This remarkable true story brings to life one of America's greatest female role models.

作者簡介

Monica Kulling was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. When she was seven, she moved with her family to her father's boyhood home in Switzerland. Here Monica continued with grade one, the big difference being she didn't understand a word anyone was saying!

The big adventure lasted only a year. Monica and her family moved back to British Columbia to live in the small town of Chilliwack in the heart of the Fraser Valley. Monica's parents operated a delicatessen, where Monica and her four siblings worked, each in their turn.

Monica was now in grade two and speaking English all the time, which suited her better. She wasn't the kind of girl who always had her nose in a book or kept a diary of all the great girl things she was doing, and she never won a spelling bee!

Monica was an outdoor girl. She loved recess and playing marbles or dodge ball, red rover or baseball. After school, Monica climbed trees, played baseball even in the rain, and rode her bike all over town. On weekends, she took her younger sister and brother to the movies.

Monica loved comic books. They gave her a chance to practice her reading! Nancy and Sluggo and the Superheroes were special favourites.

Monica lived the life of a free-range kid. She had plenty of time to go where she wanted, to sit under a tree and daydream, and to have adventures.

Monica still didn't read much, even in high school. She did love the illustrated classic comic books and had the entire collection of almost 200. These comics gave her an intimate knowledge of the great works of literature in the English language.

If Monica didn't especially like to read or write, how did she get started as a writer? She loved music, especially the music of the sixties and the lyrics of poets like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. When she was sixteen, Monica heard the words of Paul Simon in his song "The Boxer" and those of Joni Mitchell in her song "Both Sides Now," and she was blown away.

Monica was glued to the radio and records, going over the poetry of the lyrics in her mind. She had long ago put away comic books and taken up the guitar. She soon became hooked on the passion and poetry of the wonderful song writers of the day--Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Laura Nyro, and many more. Monica was also studying poetry in school and was soon reading the great poets, because she wanted to, not because she had to.

Monica started to write her own poems and, after high school, studied creative writing at the University of Victoria. In her final year, she took a course in children's literature. She loved it so much, she began to write for children. In 1992, she published her first book, a picture book about an orange cat, called I Hate You, Marmalade!

Monica Kulling lives in Toronto, Ontario.

多讀書，可以讓你全身都有禮節。俗話說：“第一印象最重要。”從你留給彆人的第一印象中，就可以讓彆人看齣你是什麼樣的人。所以多讀書可以讓人感覺你知書答禮，頗有風度。

我還記得其中有一個小鴨子的故事，故事中的主角醜小鴨齣生在一個鴨子的傢庭，兄弟姐妹都長者一身金燦燦的羽毛，而它卻與眾不同，長者一身黑黝黝的羽毛，因此不受大傢的歡迎，十分自卑。後來，它長成瞭一隻美麗的白天鵝。這個故事如果不仔細的閱讀，隻會覺得它是一個普通的童話故事，要是好好的去體會它的意境，你就會認為裏麵蘊藏著一個道理。童話中的醜小鴨因自己的外錶醜陋，遭到瞭周期所有人對它的鄙視。可它並沒有在意，隻管自己努力做事。慢慢地它長大瞭，憑著自己的纔能，變成瞭一隻漂亮的白天鵝。這個故事告訴瞭我們一個道理，一個人身處逆境時，不能消沉，不能自卑，要勇於奮鬥，纔有可能改變自己的處境。

我們的身邊也不乏有這樣的例子。我們班的同學丁天一，小學一年級時，成績不是很好，相貌也不突齣，平時不大愛說話，沉默寡言，是一個平平常常的同學。但他從沒放棄對自己的要求，努力學習，不恥下問，到瞭二年級時，他就象變瞭個人似的，一下子成瞭同學們中的佼佼者，成績名列前茅，受到瞭所有老師的稱贊。
