Another Little Person with Big Dreams: Martin Luther King, Jr. by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

This title is the latest  in a series of brief biographies of well known individuals.  Each is meant to teach and inspire young children.  This entry about Martin Luther King is no exception.  In this title with muted, multi racial illustrations, Martin’s story is told from childhood.  At that time, he experienced discrimination.  Young readers learn how this impacted him as he moved to change things through peaceful protest.  Because this book is for young children, there is no mention of his assassination but rather focuses on his “I have a dream” speech.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses! View all posts by joycesmysteryandfictionbookreviews
