Great Kids' Book About Martin Luther King, Jr.

             

What was Your Dream, Dr. King? and Other Questions about Martin Luther King, Jr. (by award-winning author Mary Kay Carson) is a wonderful book for young readers age 7 and up. The kid-friendly question-and-answer format allows readers to explore the book at their own pace and learn about the man and his times in meaningful chunks. As usual, Carson's writing is clear, accessible, and informative. Beautiful illustrations bring Dr. King to life.
