On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Martin Luther King gave one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in our nation's history.

The illustrations in this book are incredible. Huge fan of Kadir Nelson. I loved reading this to my 3rd-5th grade students. We contemplated what peace means/does not mean...what Dr. King's dream was and whether or not we think it's been realized....how we as artists can be change makers and help his dream to be realized now.

Wow. In 1963, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave one of the most important speeches of the 20th century. It is called the "I Have a Dream" speech and it was delivered as part of the March on Washington, a march in support of civil rights for African Americans. This book pairs the words of the last third of the speech with Kadir Nelson's outstanding illustrations.

Nelson has won two Caldecott Honors, a Robert F. Sibert Medal and a Coretta Scott King Honor Award. In "I Have a Dream" he captures the power of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Nelson includes two head shots of Dr. King. The first is paired with "I have a dream today." The second is paired with "From every mountainside, let freedom ring." Both show the strength and intensity of Dr. King. Nelson also paints a two-page spread of a white hand and a black hand holding each other. It's hard to imagine a better way to visualize the meaning of the speech.

At the end of the book the entire speech is printed. The book also comes with a CD of the entire speech. It's remarkable to listen to the speech on the CD, notice when the book begins to pick up the words of the speech, and continue to listen to the speech while reading the words and looking at the illustrations. It makes for a very powerful experience for one who was a child during the civil rights movement.

"I Have a Dream" is an excellent tool to open new generations of children to the civil rights movement and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This book demonstrates that Dr. King's power continues into the 21st century.

Powerful Presentation / Beautifully Illustrated

I'm a teacher and read this book every year to my fifth grade students. It is actually written so that much younger students can understand it, but I love using it as a springboard for more advanced lessons on race and prejudice. I purchased several extra copies to give to my young nieces and nephews last February, because it is such a well-written, insightful book.

This picture book is one of the most beautiful picture books we've read. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech is, of course, beautiful and powerful. I'm so happy the book includes a digital copy of the speech and all of the speech text in the back of the book. The you combine those inspiring words with these AMAZING illustrations. The illustrator has an incredible gift for capturing intense, expressive, *real* emotion. The angles and images he chose to illustrate fit this just perfectly.

As an adult, I'm inspire every time I read it. But, it doesn't just capture my attention. My children adore exploring the photographs at every read through.

A beautiful, well-loved book.

Our baby is due to be delivered by cesarean on MLK Day 2019. Since I want to raise a baby that will fight for justice and equality I ordered this book to teach our child the significance of the day he/she was born. This book is so beautifully illustrated! It is his speech, word-for-word and also comes with a CD of the speech! I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase!!

Excellent reminder about the values of all Americans! Exceptional insight into the hatred actions that have prevailed too long in certain areas of our country, and in too many minds. Only God can change us to love each other as we love ourselves.
