Title: Show Me History – Martin Luther King Jr.
Author: James Buckley Jr.
Illustrator: Youneek Studios
Publisher: Portable Press
ISBN: 9781684125463
Review:
Follow along with Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam as they walk you through the pages of history sharing the story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Readers who are fans of
comics will love going back in time to review the story of Dr. King from his
early childhood until the last moments of his life. Illustrated boxes with
speech and thought balloons keep the storyline short and sweet but still
provide plenty of story to get the reader engaged in the history of events.
Side-bar commentary is shared with images of Lady Liberty along with Uncle Sam,
presented in a modern perspective, sharing little known facts for readers to
absorb.
Readers will love the illustrations
that perfectly capture the emotion of the time. Vividly colorful and extremely
detailed this graphic novel is a plus for students who aren’t fans of non-fiction.
Readers will be able to spend time on each page to take in all of the details
for a better understanding of the story. Parents and teachers can use this tool
to engage students, teach history, capture the eye of the non-reader and
discuss the wonderful man and what he did for this country.
