Review: Must read for school kids - This book from National Geographic is a superb work by author Kitson Jazynka about Martin Luther King Junior and even a young reader can understand and enjoy it without any assistance. The book has real life pictures, big colored text, side bars and sketches that keeps you glued till the end. It gives full information about Dr. King’s childhood, his studies, his struggle for equal rights of Blacks and Whites in the US. The life story of Dr King inspires readers to stand up for their rights and also tells that violence is not the way to make a change and our words have a great power with which we can change the thoughts of people in a peaceful way. The book also has an interesting quiz section in the end and is a must read for every school child. Review: Très bien - Magazine écrit en anglais. A l'occasion de la journée commémorative de MLK (3ème lundi du mois de janvier), j'ai offert ce magazine pour ma fille de 6 ans. Je craignais qu'elle soit un peu trop jeune en lisant le descriptif car à la base il est destiné aux enfants en âge de pouvoir lire et découvrir le magazine seul mais ça été à sa portée sans problème en l'accompagnant dans sa lecture. Ce magazine permet d'introduire de nouveaux mots de vocabulaire tels que la ségrégation, les droits de l'homme, le boycott, etc On y parle de Rosa Parks et de Gandhi brièvement aussi. Sincèrement, je trouve ça très bien fait et pas besoin d'attendre d'être grands pour en parler et découvrir tout ça. Donc c'est génial. J'ai aussi trouvé que le magazine engageait les jeunes lecteurs à agir face aux injustices, à se battre mais comme MLK dans la non violence. Il est mis en exergue le pouvoir de la parole. C'est un magazine engageant. Bref je recommande vivement car ça a plu à ma fille donc parfait.
