"...a stunning introduction to King's life and words."
School Library Journal
"With atmospheric musical accompaniment, this marvelous adaptation of Doreen Rappaport's picture-book biography about the beloved civil rights leader incorporates fantastic techniques of animation and iconography featuring striking and colorful collage art." Editor's Choice. "
Booklist
"Duncan's narration, in a low, deep, strong voice, juxtaposes perfectly with the soft crooning of church and choral music in the background, and the marching music as the demonstrations begin.... A simple, yet powerful statement about King's beliefs, and his impact on the world, is made all the better by the blending of sight and sound." "
