A Place to Land: Martin Luther King Jr. and the Speech That Inspired a Nation by Barry Wittenstein
4.0
I read this book to review it for my library system's Mock Caldecott Awards. This is a Jerry Pinkney work, so of course the art is stunning. The way the pictoral style evolves over the course of the book is beautiful and brilliant.
Reading this book with a child might be a little difficult. It's on the long end, and deals with some heavy context. You'd need both the right grownup, and the right child to make it work. It's a tough and necessary conversation, though.
