Too many books about civil rights leaders as untouchable and almost god like. This book doesn't do that and I appreciate how much more realistic and down to earth this book is in talking about Martin Luther King. It covers some of his youth as well as the more publicly known acts as a civil rights leader. It humanizes him and explains his full-life versus just the acts such as Selma, voting rights act, etc. I appreciate this more nuanced view and I think it helps children identify and understand they can grow into these roles as leaders as well.

The book is simple enough for an advanced third-grader to read and understand, especially with question and answer conversations. The artwork is nicely done and can help to break up some of the reading for a young reader and prompt conversation around it as well. This would be a great addition to a school classroom or library.

This book is always mindful and touching even today. It is a good book for middle grades to learn about one of the true heroes of the Twentieth century. (

This text is as relevant to today's readers as it was when it was first published. It will certainly become a staple in my classroom non-fiction library. While it is STILL a somewhat abridged version of Dr. Kings life, it is appropriate for later elementary/middle school readers as a fantastic fact-finding resource. (

“Martin Luther King: The Peaceful Warrior” was an updated version of the book that was published in 1964. It is a relevant today as it was then. The events which were significant to Dr King's cause were outlined in accessible prose, a result, no doubt, of the author's years of experience as a journalist.

I appreciated finding out the facts behind the myth. I now have a better understanding of Martin Luther King's crusade and the price that he and, those who supported him, paid to bring change.

This was lovely. A compelling, moving account of Martin Luther King Jr's life. There is a nice emphasis on Martin Luther King Sr. too. It's easy to follow and very engaging. It's touching and a very compassionate account. I think it could sustain the attention of most children. And there are some lovely illustrations as well.
Would be an excellent read for 4th-7th graders perhaps. (
