In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Martin Luther King Jr., the inspiring minister and civil rights
activist.
Little Martin grew up in a family of preachers: his dad was a preacher,
his uncle was a preacher, his grandfather was a preacher...so maybe he'd
become a great preacher too. One day, a friend invited him to play at
his house. Martin was shocked when his mother wouldn't let him in
because he was black. That day he realized there was something terribly
unfair going on. Martin believed that no one should remain silent and
accept something if it's wrong. And he promised himself that--when he
grew up--he'd fight injustice with the most powerful weapon of all:
words. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations
and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline
with historical photos and a detailed profile of the inspiring
activist's life.
