Definitely one of my favorites of the Little People, Big Dreams series. I will be buying a copy as soon as it releases. A great succinct and powerful message and story of Martin Luther King Jr.s life.

I love the picture books that Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara does. They are perfect for little children.
This one is a picture book that introduces the little readers to the incredible life of the inspiring minister and civil rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr.
It is written in simple sentences, which are perfect for the little ones and it offers them inspiring messages.
I love how quirky the illustrations are.

My 5 year old loves the books from the 'Little People, Big Dreams' series. I thought some of the topics touched on in the particular issue were a bit grown up for him but a fabulous book none the less. Really enjoy all the books from this series, teaching and inspiring children while they read. 5 stars!

I always love reading the books in this series and this edition was no exception. It was nice to see Martin Luther King Jr.'s life portrayed in this art style. The book is concise and to the point and is a great starter for young kids learning about important people.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with a copy for an honest review. :)

Love! Every time we visit the library my daughter and I grab a few from the Little People, Big Dreams series. Just the right amount of information for a young child to learn a little more about influential people.

I have seen this series of books and often wondered how age appropriate they were for school age kids. After reading Martin Luther King Jr.'s version of the series, I have ordered multiple versions for Christmas presents. They are fabulous. So age appropriate with such a strong message. We can all learn so much from people in history who had the strength and determination to push the boundaries. Well done!

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This one is about Martin Luther King and his peaceful fight against racism and segregation. He's definitely an important figure who has inspired many many people. Children will learn from his story, for sure.

This book about Martin Luther King, Jr. was neat. I loved the illustrations and it was informative. It also talks about racism and civil rights (as it should, considering it is about MLK) and it could easily teach young kids a little bit about those topics.

A wonderful, brief biography about Martin Luther King Jr. The Little People, Big Dreams series is a wonderful collection of biographies for children. Told with factual information paired with vibrant imagery that is great for readers of all ages. Highly recommend!

Another powerful book in the Little People, Big Dreams series!
The story of Martin Luther King Jr. is told in simple words for the youngest readers. There are several strong messages in the book. Love is the solution against hate, never accept something wrong, and use peaceful ways to fight against it. And, above all, it's the character that matters, not the colour of our skin.
We will have this book on our children's shelves. It will give us so many topics for discussion!
Thank you to Net Galley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for providing me with an e-book copy in exchange for my honest review!

Another good addition to this great series. I enjoy getting to look at greats like MLK, Jr from the vantage point of their childhood and how that influenced the rest of their life.

Martin Luther King, Jr. by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is a book from the Little People, another fantastic book to join the other books by Big Dreams books. I just love these sweet little books. They're an introduction for young pre-school readers to learn about amazing, wonderful men and women that have our influenced the world today. I am so glad the covered Martin Luther King. This small book was told from his childhood. Sadly at this time, he had experienced much discrimination. Young readers alike, will learn how this impacted him as he moved to change things through peaceful protest.
This made a great impact around the world and Martin Luther King is talked and learned about today in schools. Sadly within this book there is no mention of his sad end of his life.
But, concentrates on his famous speech " I have a Dream"

Big Thank you to netgalley and the Quarto Publishing Group for a free copy for an honest opinion.

This is another brilliant addition to this series – even as an adult I look out for the next book in the series being released!

I love the images in this series and this is a delightful introduction to Martin Luther King Jr, one of the most influential and powerful people that has lived. I do think that possibly how his life ended could have been touched up at the end when it had the photos of his life and achievements, but I do also understand why it was missed off with the target audience and the focus on the book is really his "I have a dream" speech.

This series is an excellent introduction to some of the well-known, and less well-known characters that have had a great impact in our lives through a variety of subjects such as literature, the rights of minorities, political influence, women's rights and science.

It is 4 stars from me for this one – a delightful read and one I will be highly recommending!!

I love this series of books, each one gives enough information to tell kids about a important historical person and why what they did mattered. The focus on MLK in this book is enough to get kids interested in the civil rights leader and the timeline at the end with actual pictures once again brings the illustrations at the beginning to life.

This title is the latest in a series of brief biographies of well known individuals. Each is meant to teach and inspire young children. This entry about Martin Luther King is no exception. In this title with muted, multi racial illustrations, Martin's story is told from childhood. At that time, he experienced discrimination. Young readers learn how this impacted him as he moved to change things through peaceful protest. Because this book is for young children, there is no mention of his assassination but rather focuses on his "I have a dream" speech.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

Martin Luther King Jr. by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another charming addition to the Little People, Big Dreams series that is so well deserving of its many accolades. This time around, the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. is introduced and presented in such a way that children will gain a sense of King Jr.'s struggles against segregation, and the peaceful stand he took against social injustices. As always, I applaud this appealing and educational series that is so rich in scope. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens for this ARC.

As with the rest of this series, they are quick and beautiful reads. With nugget bits of information, we learn who Martin Luther King Jr was and why he was an important historical figure through sweet little illustrations. The life of Dr. King is an important one to tell and like the other books in this series, should provoke conversation about challenging ourselves and speaking up for others.

This book does not talk about his assassination and leaves the door open for students to acquire additional information.

A must purchase for any school library where this series is popular.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I just love these little books. What better way to learn about the positive role models through history than write stories of their lives and adorable pictures.

The injustices that have occurred through history and explored on a very small scale in life of Martin Luther King Jr.

This is great for kids and great for adults.

This was such an adorable read! I absolutely love this series of books. It's so charming and informative at the same time. I honestly believe that I will treasure these stories and pass them down to the children in my life. These are stories that need to be told and this book tells it in a way that a small child will understand and yet an adult will still find it endearing and learn from it as well.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group for providing me with an ARC of this book.

These books sell wonderfully in our store and I enjoy reading them as much as the kids do.

This one on Martin Luther King Jr, as with the others, gives the perfect amount of detail for a child without being too complicated, dark or graphic. The art style is beautiful and eye catching.

I can’t wait to keep reading more of these in the future!
