Rappaport, D. (2001). Martin's big words. New York: Hyperion Books for Children.
Martin's Big Words written by Doreen Rappaport was a Caldecott Honor book in 2002. This book is based on the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his speech, "I Have a Dream." Martin's Big Words is written with the elementary child in mind. The illustration are beautiful and bring the book to life. The book discusses how life was difficult for African-Americans and how they struggled for Civil Rights. Each page of this book contains information and a quote from Marting Luther King Jr.'s life. I have found that younger children learn an abundance of information from the pictures of this book. This books is wonderful to use in Social Studies class and to teach children that all should be treated equally.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a brilliant, loving man who helped change our country. He tried to love everyone, good or bad. I am thankful for books like these.
