Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most famous Americans in history, and one of the most important men children can learn about. The life and legend of Dr. King have been told to every American, many of whom come away equating King with the Civil Rights Movement as a whole, but King’s life was about far more than leading movements and having dreams. History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of Martin Luther King Jr. humanizes the leader who constantly sought to better himself and desperately wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps, while also celebrating his incredible accomplishments.
