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

I listened to this book as I read along was very moving. This Coretta Scott King Award, Caldecott Honor (2002), New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books (2001) would be a great picture book to use during February as we celebrate African Heritage Month by using the words of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech carefully chosen illustrations captivating the reader of the inequalities of the life of most African Americans during the acidic Rights Movement and how the words of one man can lead to do many changes in our society. I like how it began with Martin as a little boy listening and being influenced by his father at the pulpitt, and moving onto his adulthood to how his influence had on us then and now. I believe we can use this book for all ages, the activities we do would just be in more depth.
