Just a few weeks ago we announced the arrival of a special edition of Martin’s Big Words to the First Book Marketplace. This incredible picture book, written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier, weaves the immortal words of Dr. King into an unforgettable portrait of a man whose dream changed America — and the world — forever.

As we pause today to remember Dr. King’s powerful legacy, we are happy to say that, just a few weeks after we added this title to our site, the book has already sold out of its first Special Edition printing (a second printing will soon be on the way). This really is a wonderful testament to both the special qualities of this wonderful book and the lasting power of Dr. King’s “big” words.
