This week in library, we read Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by Doreen Rappapo. It is a powerful story about how one person's dream can change society.
"Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character."
