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.

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.

A beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written book for children about an important figure in US History. It is very good to have a book like this to help teach tolerance and diversity to younger children. Hopefully children from many backgrounds and family situations will read this book and appreciate the story

Finally, an engaging way to introduce children to Harvey Milk -- a moving story, told with sensitivity, and lively illustrations. One politician's life and untimely end are chronicled here with passion. This book will inspire children (and adults!) to make their world a better place for us all. I loved it.

As a teacher, I highly recommend this book to young people who want to read about courageous Americans. The author did a good job of highlighting Harvey Milk, a man who stood for freedom for all people, regardless of life style. Children need to see more positive examples of people from diverse backgrounds making a difference in the world.

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!
