MLK Jr. from a Kindergarten Perspective

Today we talked all day about Martin Luther King, Jr. We talked about what he did for our country. We discussed how we can help each other and get along. We had a few very good discussions too. One friend mentioned that the person who shot Dr. King didn't even know him, so what reason did he have to shoot him. After discussing that not everyone agreed with what Dr. King believed, another friend matter-of-factly stated that "they just need to think like his brain." But my favorite moment came at the end of the day. A friend grabbed a book from the shelf about Dr. King and asked another friend who it was. He replied, "That's Bill Martin, Jr.!" We discussed this author earlier in the year, so I guess I should be grateful he remembered!
