A Place to Land: Martin Luther King Jr. and the… von Barry Wittenstein
This informational texts goes through Martin Luther King Jr's speech/beliefs and what people thought about him and his beliefs. It teaches about Martin himself and about other people as well. I would use this book as a read aloud but only to 5th grade and up. I feel the information in this book and words on each page is formatted for a mature audience.
When the Cuyahoga River caught fire in 1969, it wasn't the first time that had happened - but it was the time that inspired action. Black mayor Carl Stokes "declared war...on pollution." Congress passed the Clean Air and Clean Water acts, and the first Earth Day took place in 1970. People "learned that caring for the Earth requires constant attention." Wittenstein nods to the river's cleanliness when Indigenous peoples were its custodians, and acknowledges that although more than 40 species of fish have returned to the river, it's still not as clean as it was before the Industrial Revolution.

I love books about inventions and inventors because I want to teach my kids to be curious and proactive, but also because they sneakily teach about the time period the invention existed in. This history of the invention of the Band-Aid is spunky and informative.
This book is about Martin Luther King Jr’s speech but instead of what the speech means and what is about, this book is about how he came to write the speech itself. This book is useful for the classroom because it shows that not everything is as it seems for famous people. Sometimes greatness happens when you do not expect it.
