Martin's Big Words

The Life Of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

BY DOREEN RAPPAPORT, ILLUSTRATED BY BRIAN COLLIER

Brief Description:
"This picture book biography provides an ideal introduction to this leader and his works. Juxtaposing original text with quotes from King's writing and speeches, Rappaport's narrative offers a pastiche of scenes from King's life, beginning with his childhood experience of seeing 'white only' signs sprinkled throughout his hometown. He Questions his mother about their meaning, and she assures him, 'You are as good as anyone.' Listening to his father preach, the boy asserts that 'When I grow up, I'm going to get big words, too.' The author relies on her subject's own words, and his power, passion and pacifism shine through."-Publishers Weekly. Ages 5-9.
