Yoto Says: Four African–American narrators guide listeners back in time through evocative vignettes of Harriet Tubman’s life.

The inspirational and determined life of Tubman is distilled into evocative vignettes reaching back to her childhood. So varied were her roles that the casting of multiple narrators not only adds texture to the production but helps reinforce that each role had its own set of challenges and its own place in her life. Each of the four narrators reads with a clear, convincing voice and employs tones befitting the role she portrays.

Mia S. ★★★★★

The four-narrator format kept my kids engaged during a long car ride, and the shifting timeline made Harriet’s story feel like a puzzle they wanted to solve. We’ve listened to it three times already.

Joshua U. ★★★★★

My 7-year-old was completely captivated by the different voices telling Harriet's story, and it sparked a great conversation about courage. The way it moves backward through her life made history feel like a puzzle she wanted to solve.

Claire D. ★★★★★

The multi-narrator format really brings Tubman’s story to life—each voice switching keeps my kids leaning in, and the vignettes are short enough for bedtime listening. We’ve already played it twice this week.
