Starred review from September 1, 2017
K-Gr 3-The narrative opens with Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, then traces the March on Washington back to the 1950s and 60s when "black Americans organized and fought extra hard. Their fight was called the civil rights movement." Early protests and famous civil rights activists are mentioned, along with more information on King. The narrative eventually returns to the march and provides finer details about the day ("The marchers crowded the Mall's Reflecting Pool. Some took off their shoes and socks to soothe their feet in the cool water."). The text is surrounded by partial and occasional full-page illustrations. The artwork, done in muted tones with soft lines and washes of color, conveys the somberness of the mentioned events and depicts famous civil rights moments, protestors, marchers, politicians, and King with sensitivity. The text uses words and terms most emergent readers will know in a thoughtful and descriptive way. The author's note provides a paragraph on the 1964 signing of the Civil Rights Act. VERDICT A smart narrative and skillfully done illustrations make this introduction to Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement one all libraries will want to consider.-Tamara Saarinen, Pierce County Library, WA

The focus of this easy reader is the 1963 March on Washington. In addition--and putting that historical moment into context--Nelson introduces the civil rights movement's beginnings in the 1950s along with King's leadership of nonviolent protest. The vocabulary is clear and plain, and the textured illustrations thoughtfully expand the text.(Copyright 2018 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
