Be a King: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream and You - Hardcover
by Carole Boston Weatherford (Author), James E. Ransome (Illustrator)
You can be a King. Stamp out hatred. Put your foot down and walk tall.
You can be a King. Beat the drum for justice. March to your own conscience. Featuring a dual narrative of the key moments of Dr. King's life alongside a modern class as the students learn about him, Carole Weatherford's poetic text encapsulates the moments that readers today can reenact in their own lives. See a class of young students as they begin a school project inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and learn to follow his example, as he dealt with adversity and never lost hope that a future of equality and justice would soon be a reality. As times change, Dr. King's example remains, encouraging a new generation of children to take charge and change the world . . . to be a King.Carole Boston Weatherford is the award-winning author of more than 50 books of poetry, nonfiction, and children's literature.
