I recommend to read Martin’s Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.   by Doreen Rappaport  illustrated by Bryan Collier 

This picture-book biography is a great source  for young readers to learn about one of the world’s most influential leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King.

"Men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other.”

~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr at Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, on Oct. 15, 1962~

“Con frecuencia, los hombres se odian unos a otros porque se tienen miedo; tienen miedo porque no se conocen; no se conocen porque no se pueden comunicar; no se pueden comunicar porque están separados”. 

~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.~
