A landmark speech presented for young readers

This picture-book edition pairs Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech with illustrations by Kadir Nelson. The speech was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington on August 28, 1963; here, its message of freedom and equality also serves as an introduction to that moment in U.S. history. The format brings a historic public address into a book designed for children, while the themes of equality and peace connect the speech’s historical setting with questions that remain part of public life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 beginning to encounter U.S. history and the March on Washington.
  • Families and educators seeking an illustrated introduction to King’s speech and its themes.

Book overview

From Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s daughter, Dr. Bernice A. King: "My father's dream continues to live on from generation to generation, and this beautiful and powerful illustrated edition of his world-changing "I Have a Dream" speech brings his inspiring message of freedom, equality, and peace to the youngest among us--those who will one day carry his dream forward for everyone."

On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Martin Luther King gave one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in our nation's history. His words, paired with Caldecott Honor winner Kadir Nelson's magificent paintings, make for a picture book certain to be treasured by children and adults alike. The themes of equality and freedom for all are not only relevant today, 50 years later, but also provide young readers with an important introduction to our nation's past.
