This gorgeous book tells the story of Martin Luther King Jr. writing his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. Best suited to older kids due to longer text and mention of violence. An inspiring and worthy book to add to your reading.

Recommended for ages 10+.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Martin Luther King, Jr. was once asked if the hardest part of preaching was knowing where to begin. No, he said. The hardest part is knowing where to end. "It's terrible to be circling up there without a place to land."

Finding this place to land was what Martin Luther King, Jr. struggled with, alongside advisors and fellow speech writers, in the Willard Hotel the night before the March on Washington, where he gave his historic "I Have a Dream" speech. But those famous words were never intended to be heard on that day, not even written down for that day, not even once.

FROM SARAH:

Jerry Pinkney is one of my all-time favorite illustrators, and this rendering of Little Red Riding is just lovely.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

In this inspired rendering of the classic Grimm Brothers folktale, Caldecott Medal-winning artist Jerry Pinkney introduces two favorite children's characters to a new generation: the sly, scary wolf and the sweet little girl in her famous red hood. Readers will squeal with delight all over again during that most memorable scene when Little Red Riding Hood declares, "Oh, Grandmamma, what great teeth you have!"
