About Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the most influential and gifted speakers of all time. Doreen Rappaport uses quotes from some of his most beloved speeches to tell the story of his life and his work in a simple, direct way. Bryan Collier's stunning collage art combines remarkable watercolor paintings with vibrant patterns and textures. A timeline and a list of additional books and web sites help make this a standout biography of Dr. King.
The reading list is as follows but is subject to change based on the emergence of a book that has risen in popularity and/or demand.
