About:
Every once in a while, down through the pages of time, the life and works of one man forever changes the lives of millions of people. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was such a man. WHY WOULD AN OLD WHITE LADY WRITE A CHILDREN'S BOOK EXTOLLING DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.? The answer is simple: the hurt in a wounded soldier s eyes. This is her story of why she wrote Listen To My Dream I remember the day I helped black soldiers, soldiers who had given their young bodies for their nation, courageous men from places like California and Washington state, into my car and took them for a short ride to the local dairy bar for a long-anticipated ice cream cone. For months they had languished in the hospital, living for any opportunity to get out. I remember the profound hurt I saw in their eyes when they saw hanging from the shop s two front windows, signs they had never before seen: Whites Only. I had grown up with it; it was just the way things were. But through their eyes I saw ugliness and hate. I felt angry stares from the nearby cars, heard unknown voices whispering, What s a white girl doing here with a Negro in the front seat? They didn t know that the soldier couldn t get out he lost his legs fighting a war for them. What I saw through their eyes that day made me so ashamed. In rhythmic manner, Debi presents Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. s dream . She begins with the dream of a boy, the son of a preacher and a teacher born at a time when for many, dreams were just that: dreams with little or no hope of being realized. She continues as he grows, refusing to accept that and not only dreamed but labored to make that dream a reality. Throughout his life he shares his dream with others, inviting them to also dream and join him in his labors. Although in life he only reached the mountaintop his dream lives on and has become a reality for many over the years. Listen To My Dream will captivate readers young and old with its engaging storytelling and colorful artwork. Follow the life of the young boy that would become Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as he dreams, shares his dream and then lives and gives his life to make that dream a reality for others. This book will remind those who may have lived so long as to have forgotten the dream and will introduce the dream to a generation that has benefited from the dream without even knowing of it.
