Books for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is one of those holidays that I always plan to introduce to my students, and then the closer the day get the more I struggle to find the right way to discuss it.  In some ways, they understand, and in other ways, it is way over their heads.  In my experience preschoolers have a hard time comprehending why people would be treated differently because of the way they look - which is one thing that I love about them.

So, I've rounded up some books that have been really helpful for me, here are my favorites (all links are Amazon affiliates):
