Product Description

Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the most influential and gifted speakers of all time.

Doreen Rappaport uses quotes from some of his most beloved speeches to tell the story of his life and his work in a simple, direct way. Bryan Collier’s stunning collage art combines remarkable watercolour paintings with vibrant patterns and textures.

A timeline and a list of additional books and web sites help make this a standout biography of Dr. King.

“Weaving in Dr. King’s own “big words,” this inspiring picture book biography celebrates this great leader as preacher and politician. Rappaport’s sparse narrative captures the essentials of the man, the Civil Rights movement he led, and his policy of non-violence. This is a great book to read aloud many times.”―Booklist
