Editorial Review
Midwest Book Review
Peter Murray’s Dreams will interest kids in grades 2-6 with its simple blend of pictures by Robin Lawrie and fictionalized biographical details on Dr. King’s childhood and life. Civil rights and freedom issues are given plenty of detailed explanation in this introductory reader. Deborah Woodworth’s Determination also benefits from Lawrie’s illustrations as it presents the life and achievements of black baseball player Jackie Robinson. From breaking into baseball to life after baseball, this brings Robinson’s life and times alive.
