Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
As with Adler's previous books in this series, the picture-book format serves as a highly effective, empathetic way to introduce the life and legacy of important Americans to young children. Here the highlights of King's life are presented with an emphasis on his childhood and family. Children will immediately relate to his painful early experiences of racism and understand the genesis of his lifelong struggle for racial equality. The book portrays the hatred King endured, the horror of his assassination and the intense power of his message. A single-page list of important dates closes the book. Its most striking aspect is Casilla's evocative watercolor paintings, which expand the text while celebrating the man. Ages 4-9. (Oct.)
School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-- This beautifully illustrated , easy-to-read biography takes a look at the life, leadership, and ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Adler examines King's family background, leadership of the Montgomery bus boycott, and the 1963 march on Washington, D.C. By focusing primarily on these events, Adler provides young readers with enough basic information to form a well-rounded picture of King and his ideals. However, the outstanding feature of this book is the vivid watercolor illustrations, which are sure to capture readers' attention. Casilla dramatically reveals the mood and feelings of the era. An error appears in the chronology section, where it states that King was married in Marion, Georgia instead of Marion, Alabama (some sources list Heiberger, Alabama, which is nearby). A fine introduction to King and the freedom movement, and one that would be equally useful for storyhour and discussion groups. --Jeanette Lambert, LaVega School, Waco, TX

    A Wonderful Biography

    I checked this book out from the library for my 4 year old son. We found it to be a great introduction not only to Dr. King, but to the movement he represented. Told in story form and with beautiful illustrations, it would hold the attention of children of all ages. It did not lack in detail, however- there is even a time line of important events found in the back of the book. This book served as a wonderful jumping point for conversations about segregation, discrimination, and the Civil Rights Movement. And unlike other children's biographies of Dr. King, it accurately shows that not only blacks, but also some whites agreed with Dr. King and protested against segregation. We will definitely be checking out the other books in this series!
