This book is a biography on Martin Luther King, Jr. It tells about how he wanted to peacefully changed the laws that separated blacks and whites. I would use this book in my classroom as it tells a very complicated story simple enough for young kids to understand. It also includes a glossary in the back so students can look up hard words they may not know. This book would be appropriate for grades 1st-3rd.
