"Dear Dr. King" compiles a moving collection of letters written by children to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These letters, described as poetic, innocent, funny, and wise, reveal how young people today understand and are inspired by King's dream. The book provides a gentle yet powerful way for children aged 4-11 to connect with the historical significance of the civil rights movement and reflect on ongoing efforts for justice and equality. It's an excellent resource for parents and educators to spark conversations about empathy, perseverance, and the importance of working towards a better world.
"As these poetic, innocent, funny, and wise letters make clear, kids today are striving, in ways Dr. King might not have foreseen, to make their dream come true."--Jacket.
