Through collage and watercolor illustrations by Bryan Collier, Martin’s Big Words tells the story of Martin Luther King, Jr. Stained glass windows, church steeples, and the American flag illustrate Martin’s message that “everyone can be great.” We read of bus boycotts, marches, bomb threats, accolades, and finally the assassination. A concise history of the great man’s life and work that will have you flipping back through the pages even after your listener has drifted off to sleep.

"That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen." Good for you, getting an early start on what can be be right with this world.
Amen, sister.
Perhaps these words, too, will grace a Bryan Collier book one day...
"What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character than giving our all to a difficult task".
Whoa, whoa, whoa, sisters! You two are gonna be up on that big marquee in the sky someday. And I will be singin' mi,mi,mi,mi,mi.
