Part of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series and written by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara.
This short, sensitive mini biography is perfect for any age but is geared for the very young. The language is perfect for ESL also. Very well done!
The illustrations are mostly simple and forthright with brilliant colors thanks to illustrator Mai Ly Degnan.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

I get that this book is the baby edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series and that the books need to be shorter but I didn't want this book to end. There are so many amazing things that Martin Luther King Jr. was able to accomplish they cannot all be found in this board book. With that said this is a great starting place for introducing amazing people like MLK to the newest generation of readers.

This is a great little book introducing little children to MLK, Jr. The wonderful illustrations are brightly colored & the words are appropriate to read to little kids, telling about his life at a child's level. It's a great addition to this 'My First Little People BIG DREAMS' series that introduces little kids to lots of different amazing people. I think it's a great book, & series!
I received a complimentary e-copy of the book to read & review, from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my own fair & honest opinion of the book.

These are always enjoyable but this is the first time I’ve read one for a baby. It’s still full of information but definitely more quick and summarized, good for toddlers

3.5/5
MLK Jr,'s story is still so important today and necessary that all children read his story and learn from it. That being said, I think this book was too short and too condensed to really tell children why he was so important. There are no dates or much information about the time period of his life or anything about the civil rights movement at all. When the book ended, I thought to myself "Really? That's it?" (12 pages). There are a plethora of MLK Jr. Children's books out there and I don't know if this one particularly stands out. The artwork is nice!

I was really hoping to enjoy this book more.

I felt the words used are far too 'big' for younger children with no explanation as to their meaning. My eldest daughter (7) had to ask me the meaning of a lot of words so I'm unsure how this is a baby version.

The story itself wasn't bad, it was just lacking sorry.

MLK’s story is such an important one, but it was a little too simplified in this book. This would be a book to initiate conversations about racism, but I wish the author had written a little more about how MLK got involved with the civil rights movement.

A beautiful board book about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy. Though simplified from the original book, I'd recommend this for preschool-kidergarten age children because if the content. This would make a wonderful gift or a great addition to the classroom.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

While this book is written for young readers, it is beautifully written. It has a lot of the important information about Martin Luther King' life, but is written appropriately. It has enough information for the young reader to really understand the impact that Martin Luther King had. I would recommend this to any one with young readers.

Martin Luther King Jr. is the newest lead in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the American civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. This book follows Martin Luther King Jr. as he becomes a pastor to the delivery of his "I have a dream" speech and his peace price awarded for his work.

Mai Ly Degnan illustrates this installment and does an amazing job. Degnan's art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Martin's story. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
