Meet three inspirational figures from Black culture and history: Maya Angelou, Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks! This boxed gift set of three hardcover books from the internationally best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series introduces little dreamers to the lives of these leaders and trailblazers who stepped up and changed the world.
In these remarkable true stories, learn how three people stood against injustice and fought for their dream of a better world.
Maya overcame her trauma to tell the story of being Black in America, becoming one of the century’s most influential and visionary writers.
Martin grew up in the harsh world of segregation, and came to show the world that the best weapon against hate is love.
Rosa took a stand against what she knew was wrong, igniting a movement that sought to unite a divided world.
Each of these moving books features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the figure’s life.
