March On!- Biography

March On!
The Day My Brother Martin Changed the World
by Christine King Farris

This book, first of all, has beautiful illustrations! The book is told from Christine King Farris's, Martin Luther King Jr.’s older sister, point-of-view. The book covers the story of the 1963 March on Washington. The author tells about how she and her brother were raised. The main spotlight in the book is placed upon the actual march and the author also tells details about Martin Luther King Jr. investing time on the speech he delivered. The author includes details about the many people who attended, the news coverage, and the activists. I think this is a great novel to share with students and could easily be incorporated during Black History month in Febuary to share the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr.
