March On!: The Day My Brother Martin Changed the World by London Ladd, Christine King Farris

4.0

This book tells the story of the day Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his speech at the Washington Monument. The best part is that it is written by his sister, from her perspective. She tells of all the events that day, including some behind the scene things that most members of the public were not able to witness. It's a great historical book for kids to read to learn more about this incredible man and what he's done for this country. It really shows his impact and just how important he was.

The pictures in this book are gorgeous paintings done by London Ladd. They are very fitting of the story and time period, and they are very powerful.
