This book tells the story of Martin Luther King's peaceful struggle for civil rights in the United States, from bus boycotts in 1955 to his world-famous "I have a dream" speech in Washington just eight years later.
Quick Summary
This book shows how one brave speaker with words instead of weapons changed an entire nation, and kids get to witness the power of peaceful protest through real moments that shaped history. Readers will cheer as they read about the Montgomery bus boycott, the daring sit-ins at lunch counters, and the massive March on Washington where MLK's voice rang out across the National Mall. If your kid loves history books that read like stories with real heroes, they'll devour this like they do the "Who Was?" series. Ideal for kids ages 8 to 12 in grades 3 through 7.
