Reviews
"Beginning with the startling cover, which contains only the face of Martin Luther King Jr., with his smile broad, and his eyes crinkled in laughter, this title intrigues. It's an homage in words and pictures, in which the author weaves King's words with her own to present a brief but stately portrait of the American hero....Readers will hear [King's] voice echo in this presentation."-- Kirkus Reviews

Take time to study the pictures
I am a children's librarian and have used this book in many different settins. In a book discussion with 1st-3rd grade students I projected the art work on a wall and we spent all of our time marveling at the things we missed in the art work when we first read the book. Last summer I showed the DVD of this book to a group of Rwandan refugee students grades 3-9. What an amazing experience it was to watch their faces as they listened to Martin's words and saw the artwork. Most recently my first-grade granddaughter told me that Martin Luther King, Jr. was her favorite person. I purchased this book for her and we have read it several times together. In fact, her four-year old brother has read it with me too and still talks about "Mr. Martin" and his words. You will not forget this book.

A Wonderful and Touching Book
I bought this book to use in my first grade classroom. It tells the story of Martin Luther King, Jr. in a way that is easy for young children to understand without dumbing down the content. A wonderful resource in any primary classroom!
