Great illustrations and a wonderfully written children's book! I bought this book for my son's second grade (probably better suited in terms of reading level for third or fourth grade but still worked quite well) book report on a historical figure. He thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a great deal. I highly recommend this book for children!

I was happy to see that a book had been written to honor Harvey Milk. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting his nephew at Gay Pride in Bisbee, Arizona, in 2014.

Although I loved and think everybody should read the book, "The Harvey Milk Story" by Kari Krakow, I have to admit in the beginning before I read the story I thought the story would be like "Harvey Milk was born in ? and died in ?" . I got a big surprise when the first sentence was "No one every guessed that the little kid with big ears would one day make history." I think the book really changed how I thought about gay and lesbian. It must have been very hard for Harvey Milk not to tell anyone about how he felt. My favorite part is that Harvey actually makes a living at a camera shop and it sort of turns into a place where people can talk with him. He ends up getting a very nice partner. I won't tell you more, but I really, really hope kari krakow will write another book.

Where I can see how "people" would like to promote this book as part of their alternate-lifestyle agenda, it hardly speaks generally and rarely includes a broad-spectrum of kids. What I mean is, unless a child is struggling with homosexual tendencies and wants to become a political figure, this book offers little to no insight as to how one can overcome being extremely different than most, but still become successful. It does clearly try to introduce to very young children ideas about sexuality that they shouldn't even be discussing for a few more years, much less in a healthy way. Nice try (i guess) but considering Harvey Milk's checkered past and being considered a teen predator , I think perhaps the gay community should embrace a more wholesome "leader" to push its agenda. With that said, the book was illustrated well and it was written in a way to engage its target market.

Bought this for a friend of mine, and she really liked it. The story line isn't watered down at all, and is much more detailed then one would expect from a children's book. The illustrations are very well done with a water coloured look to them. All in all and very good addition to any fan of civil rights, fans of Harvey Milk, and a great way to introduce children to peoples inequalities.
