review 1: This book is beautifully written and poignantly illustrated. It is an account of Dr. Martin Luther King's life and how he and Mahalia Jackson combined their skills and talents in the common purpose of gaining equality for black people in the United States. They worked tirelessly in their efforts, and it is lovely to have Mahalia's story be told. Words are colored so as to jump off the page and emphasize the author's purpose. Beautiful!
review 2: Beautifully intertwines brief stories of Martin Luther King Jr and Mahalia Jackson's lives, leading up to the March on Washington DC in 1963 where they were both key speakers (or singer). Bright colorful swirling art, with a vertical "centerfold" (to best view the center two-page spread you have to turn book sideway... mores). Is a "vignette" of the lives of these two significant African American figures in American history. less
