I am a Gee's Bend fan, so I really wanted to love this book. I did.
A young boy, while waiting for his mom to purchase a famous quilt from Gee’s Bend, learns of how the mule he’s watching came to pull the wagon that pulled Dr. King’s body down the streets of Atlanta to his funeral. I had no idea. Very cool.

Very interesting book, I learned something new. Also, I had the opportunity to read it to a elementary school recently.

This is a story of Martin Luther King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement that I have never heard before! And what a great story it is! (With beautiful illustrations to go with it!) I will certainly have to buy this one for my classroom! I absolutely love that at the end there's some additional information along with a picture from the real event so kids will see that it's true!
