MY DADDY DR MARTIN LUTHER KING

What was it like growing up as a son of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? This picture book memoir provides insight into one of history's most fascinating families and a special bond between father and son. At home, Dr. King was just dad to Marty-they'd play catch and shoot hoops together. But there were also moments when his father's life as a civil rights activist intervened. When Dr. King was thrown in jail, Marty knew his father was imprisoned for trying to help people. But he and older sister still hoped he'd be back home for Christmas. Mr King's remembrances and AG Ford's warm illustrations capture a moment in history as well as a loving family's life.
