The eighth biography in this New York Times bestselling series features one of America's greatest civil rights heroes, Martin Luther King, Jr. (Cover may vary)


As a child, Martin Luther King, Jr. was shocked by the terrible and unfair way African American people were treated. When he grew up, he decided to do something about it—peacefully, with powerful words. He helped gather people together for nonviolent protests and marches, and he always spoke up about loving other human beings and doing what’s right. He spoke about the dream of a kinder future, and bravely led the way toward racial equality in America.


This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are:


A timeline of key events in the hero’s history

Photos that bring the story more fully to life

Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable

Childhood moments that influenced the hero

Facts that make great conversation-starters

A virtue this person embodies:Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dreams of a better future propelled him into action.
