Coretta Scott King's autobiography, has been adapted for a younger reader from her adult memoir. 

I really loved King's voice; it reads like she's talking to the children. Most likely not intended for lower elementary based on the length of the text on the pages, but upper elementary and middle school readers will understand who she is, and the impact she has made. The collage illustrations incorporate magazine covers, photographs and newpapers, giving her life story added authenticity. Coretta Scott King is African American
