Martin Luther King III provides readers with a moving account of childhood memories with his dad, civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sharing common father-son memories (like playing airplane and tossing a football) as well as unique memories such as comforting his sister when their father went to jail to stand up for people's rights, he gives readers insight into the caring, courageous man who helped raise him while changing the world.
This is an outstanding read-aloud selection with a touching introduction and conclusion. Gorgeous, life-like illustrations by A.G. Ford support the text of this powerful memoir.
