Martin's BIG Words

Martin's BIG Words The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. written by Doreen Rappaport is a very inspirational book. It teaches about the history of segregation and the many struggles people of color went through. The book shows how Martin Luther King Jr. chose the path that has made and continues to make a big impact on today's society.

This book shows determination, racism, freedom, equality, peace, and bravery. To find out how Martin Luther King Jr. began to change the world and what contributions he made in today's society read Martin's BIG Words The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. written by Doreen Rappaport!!

This book would be great to teach to younger children and older children as well. In the back of the book there is a time-line. What really intrigued me about the book is the cover only has a close-up of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There was no need to even put the title on the cover. This emphasizes the power he still has today. Definitely a must read!!
