(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leonard Jenkins. This picture book biography of Dr. King is distinguished by its emphasis on the hostility King encountered for pursuing social justice through nonviolence and by the narrative's framing device: the book both begins and ends in 1968, the year of his assassination. Jenkins's mixed-media illustrations are commanding. Timeline.
