Martin's Big Words 2002 Correta Scott King Award


This is a biography of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier. I like it because it is easy for children to read and understand. It includes some very insightful thoughts and some quotes from some of Dr. King's famous speeches. I use this book every year in my first grade classroom in honor of Dr. King's birthday. It is a great way to introduce students to the civil rights movement and to have them reflect on how they treat others. The artwork in this book is beautiful.
