Jr. Dr. Martin Luther King

This book was actually just a picture book of Martin Luther King Jr.'s I have a Dream Speech. I think that every class room should have this book because this speech still today is extremely moving and important. I think that the Illustrator did an amazing job adding to this speech, and illustrating some of the key concepts and powerful lines. For example they illustrated two men just looking at each other with this line; "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood." The illustrations are simple, yet powerful. The book did not give the entire speech, but a good chunk of it with illustrations. It then had the entire thing exactly as it was delivered on the last two pages so you could read the whole thing. This was beautiful and very moving.
