(3) K-3 Ready-to-Read: Childhood of Famous Americans series. Illustrated by Rodney S. Pate. In this entry in a series that fictionalizes a childhood incident that affects the subject's future life, young Martin loses his best friend when Bobby's father says "colored and white can't mix." But while Martin's dad says "friendship has no color," and Martin vows to change people's minds. The story is unsentimentally told in a clearly written text; the realistic illustrations, appropriately somber, convey much emotion.
