I received a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

What an inspiring and easy to follow book for young minds! This book is such an encouraging book for children and can really make them think about things and make a difference in the world.

I can't wait to read more of the books in this series.

I thought this did a good job of presenting the work MLK Jr. did in a succinct and easy to understand way. However, I do feel that not mentioning how he died anywhere in the book is doing a disservice to the fight for racial justice & equality in the US. I understand that bringing up someone getting killed in a children's book is heavy, but that is the truth of what happened, and it wasn't even mentioned in the little biography in the back of the book.

This is an okay entry in the popular Little People, Big Dreams series. It's a fine book but very superficial, with MLK's words mixed in with the text without attribution. It also mentions Rosa Parks and the bus boycott, but makes the common mistake of making it sound as if Ms. Parks just randomly decided one day not to give up her seat instead of recognizing that it was part of a planned event that she volunteered to do to bring about change. I'm also not sure why the illustration of people standing up against injustice with Dr. King shows all men linked arm and arm with him, with women only in the background (kids may also wonder why everybody in the crowd is holding signs that only say I AM A MAN). The book also doesn't tell what happened to Dr. King, just leaving kids to ask the next logical question and for parents to have to answer. While it's certainly sad that he was assassinated, that is part of his story and pretending it didn't happen doesn't do much to teach kids the real life of this important figure in civil rights history.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

A short and inspirational biography of Martin Luther King Jr. that also packs a powerful message for young readers.
The illustrations were cute, but not my favorite.
Overall another great addition to the series!

This is certainly not the best volume in this series – how can you have the story of Martin Luther King without the end? I know it's dark and unsettling, but books like this one have managed it before. This volume just ends with the endless drive for MLK's "dream" to come true, and never hints at the sad ending. Before the end I found some of the script to be naive platitude, and the story just switches to our current attitudes in conclusion, all the while ignoring what should have been the whole penultimate chapter before that. Even the denser teacher's notes pages at the back of the book ignore the reality.

While scanning through the books on NetGalley, I stumbled across this awesome new board book series for babies and toddlers. The vibrant, yet simple, covers displaying historical women that I have grown up learning caught my eye, and it instantly drew me to dig in and see what this series is all about. 

Through my reading and my post-reading research, I have learned that Little People, Big Dreams is a new series that focuses on introducing the youngest of readers to amazing, wonderful women that have influenced the world.

Each book is purposely designed in order to highlight one woman who has made a difference in the world. It tells the story of that women's dream and how she was able to make her dream come true despite the biggest obstacles. 

I loved the simplicity of the design of the series, Little People, Big Dreams. The authors and illustrators who have worked on this project clearly understand their audience, and they have made each of the books reflect exactly what they want their youngest of readers to be exposed to.

Designed for babies and toddlers, Little People, Big Dreams uses simple text and engaging pictures to tell the story of each woman in a kid-friendly manner. 

Often times, my biggest complaint with board books is that they lack plots or messages. Even though board books are purposely designed for babies and toddlers, I absolutely believe they still need to be strong examples of books that contain both strong plots and messages. All age levels of children need to have access to great texts.

I loved how Little People, Big Dreams designed their biography series for baby and preschool readers. There are not many nonfiction book series out there. This series is absolutely helping to pave the way to push the norm for what we typically think of when we think of baby books.

Little People, Big Dreams series is a positive example of how even our youngest of readers can read and learn from awesome books!

The story of Martin Luther King Jr. was absolutely-deserved to become one of the newest biographies add to the Little People, Big Dreams Collection. MLK Jr.'s contribution to our world as one of the great social activist of all time is surely deserving of his own book within the Little People, Big Dreams series.

This book is sure to be loved by both you and your littlest reader as you learn all about his fight to bring social equality to all of the world.

These books are always a delight to read. Such a wonderful yet concise way to introduce young souls to one of the greatest human beings of our time. The illustrations are eye-catching and the shadow details really make them pop out. I would love to gift this to a niece or nephew to inspire the young optimist in them.

A great new addition to a series of biographies aimed at the very young reader. This brings the life of Martin Luther King to a new audience and will help with their understanding when learning about Black History Month. This is definitely one that every school should have and that every book list should include.

Another fabulous contribution to this amazing book series, full of inspiring characters for children to learn about and I mean real heroes and inspirational people. Obviously Martin Luther King Jr is one of the biggest inspirational leaders in history and one of the most important for children to learn about and from. As always beautiful Illustrations, great story and a must for everyone

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book. Even though I knew it was meant for children I absolutely loved it. This is such an important issue that all kids need to learn about when they are in school. This book should be a staple in classrooms. I really liked the "layman" language and ease of the story that made it easy to understand the importance of the issues addressed and easy for children to understand.

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This book in particular talks about Martin Luther King Jr. and his peaceful fight against racism and segregation in the USA. His fight for equality is truly something to be admired. This is such an inspiring little book and a lot of children could truly learn from it.

This book captures the life and message of Martin Luther King Jr. so well in so little pages.

I feel it would be easy to understand for children of all ages and teach them so many lessons, especially ones of inclusion.

The book was well written and concise and I would have loved to have had a book like this to read when I was younger.
