With poetic text and dynamic art, award-winning creators Carole Boston
Weatherford and James E. Ransome use key moments from Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr.'s life to inspire future generations to stand up for what's
right, make the world a better place, and be a King.

You can be a King. Stamp out hatred. Put your foot down and walk tall.
You can be a King. Beat the drum for justice. March to your own
conscience.*
Featuring a dual narrative of the key moments of Dr. King's life
alongside a modern class as the students learn about him, this engaging
story highlights principles that readers today can emulate in their own
lives. As times change, Dr. King's example remains, encouraging a new
generation of children to take charge and change the world . . . to be
a King.
