This riveting found poem for kids based on Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Street Sweeper” speech is creatively interpreted in this nonfiction picture book written by acclaimed author Alice Faye Duncan, accompanied by gorgeous artwork by award-winning illustrator E. B. Lewis.
In a speech delivered in 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. provided his young audience with life lessons:
- You count.
- Black is beautiful.
- Achieve excellence.
- Make a better world.
- Believe in nonviolence.
- Keep going!
