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.
