Customer Reviews

Good for the very young

The School Library Review is correct in that little biographical information is given, but that isn't the point of this book. It is about how a little boy responded to injustice with love. It can precipitate a nice discussion among preschoolers to second-graders about choices and how to react when things are truly unfair. I think this book is easy for little ones to relate to, especially if this is the first they've heard of MLK.
