Summary
The niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. reveals six timeless and universal principles that encompass the civil rights leader's greatest legacy: Love will see you through.

Growing up as the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., Angela Farris Watkins witnessed firsthand the principles and values that "Uncle M.L." practiced and lived by throughout his fight for equality. Drawing from experiences and episodes both personal and well-known, Dr. Watkins artfully details the guiding beliefs of one of the greatest men in history. Including "have courage" and "love your enemies," these six hallmarks of virtue and nonviolence reinforce the truth that "the universe honors love" and will inspire readers of all ages.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "In this fresh take on the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., Watkins, his niece, has selected specific incidents from King's life that aptly embody his six guiding beliefs concerning nonviolence, tolerance, and persistence: have courage ; love your enemies ; fight the problem, not the person who caused it ; when innocent people are hurt, others are inspired to help ; resist violence of any kind ; and the universe honors love. The narrative assumes no previous knowledge of events of King's life and establishes context, covers the facts, and explains the subsequent impact of each action. Repeated references to Uncle Martin and the inclusion of personal details help keep readers aware that King was a real person who faced real challenges and dangers. The picture-book format features compelling, expressive artwork. King's guiding beliefs spill across the pages in bold, oversize font, accompanied by detailed illustrations in rich, somber hues. Pair this with other nontraditional biographies, such as Doreen Rappaport's Martin's Big Words (2001), to help young readers grasp the importance of this civil rights icon.--McBroom, Kathleen Copyright 2015 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "As in My Uncle Martin's Big Heart and My Uncle Martin's Words for America, Watkins pays tribute to her uncle, Martin Luther King Jr. She condenses King's doctrine of embracing love and eschewing violence into six principles that include dictates ("Have courage"; "Love your enemies") and reflections ("When innocent people are hurt, others are inspired to help"; "The universe honors love"). Some of the author's observations, though, may require further explanation ("He put a lot of love out into the universe, and the universe honored him by giving him the power to achieve great things"). Watkins again uses events in King's life (organizing the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, protesting segregation in Birmingham in 1963) to illustrate his dedication to acting on his convictions. Comport (Hanging Off Jefferson's Nose) features intense shades of orange, fuchsia, and purple in her energetic mixed-media art, which incorporates imposing display type and occasional newspaper excerpts illuminating the turbulence of the time. Especially striking are her conspicuous portraits of hands: raised in protest, folded in prayer, and linked in solidarity. Ages 6-11. Author's agent: Jennifer Lyons, Jennifer Lyons Literary Agency.
