Annie ⚜️'s Reviews > Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I asked my son if he knew why he was off school this Monday. He did not. I asked him if he had learned about Martin Luther King in school. He said he had not. Now, maybe they did and he daydreamed through it or they'll cover it tomorrow but I was having none of that and hustled over to the library where they had a basket full of kids books on MLK and the librarian helped me pick the most perfect picture book for my 7 year old.

This is a brief history of the highlights of Dr. King's life along with some of his most touching and moving quotes accompanied by engaging and stunning illustrations. It wasn't too dark or deep for a small child but did not gloss over his story either. I feel so lucky to have found this book and been able to share it with my child.
