I‘m going to do several posts about the Kentucky book fair. 1) I got to meet the sweet granddaughter of MLK & Coretta Scott King. This is a great tribute to her family, as well as inspiring.
2) Also got to meet our First Lady of Ky, who came to hand out the adorable coloring books about their dog. Winnie became popular during the pandemic because she would often be present at daily press briefings. Of course, Winnie wasn‘t at the fair ❤️

Adler‘s accessible language and vivid illustrations bring King's story to life for young readers. It emphasizes themes of justice, equality, and courage.

“Our march made the difference. We children led the way.“ This quote highlights the children who participated in pushing the civil rights movement forward.
I would use this book when teaching about civil rights movements.
