Martin Luther King Jr. by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Martin Luther King Jr. by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Learn about the incredible life of Martin Luther King Jr., the inspiring minister and civil rights activist, in this book from the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series.

“Although many publishers have a young readers series of historically important Americans, this one might be a better one to show, in just over 400 words, what the man meant to the nation and the civil rights movement of the 1960s” —The New York Journal of Books
