I have organized them by grade level, but you might want to check the other grades for overlap or if you need to differentiate for your students!

Books for Teaching Kids About Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

After the rush of December holidays, Martin Luther King Jr. Day always seems to sneak up on me. While it signifies another day off of school, it is also an important opportunity to teach students about the man behind the holiday.  

It is also a great time to have important conversations about racism, fairness, and equality.

Luckily, there are a ton of great picture books to help teach about Martin Luther King!

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.

Here are just a few:

Be a King: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream and You

I love that this book gives real-life examples of things that kids can do to help make Dr. King's dreams a reality.

Using examples such as remembering how it feels to be treated unfairly to stamp out bigotry, and admitting when you've done something wrong and saying sorry, the author helps students to realize that they can also change the world just like Martin Luther King Jr!

Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This book is beautifully illustrated and tells Martin's story beginning from his childhood when he notices the signs around his neighborhood saying, "Whites Only".  Although the words hurt and make him feel bad, his mother uses her own words to remind him that he is "as good as anyone."

In addition to his mother's words, Martin hears the words of his father who is a minister.  He hopes to have big words of his own.

The book follows his journey to the man he would become with his own big words that he uses in his famous "I Have a Dream Speech".

National Geographic Readers: Martin Luther King Jr.

National Geographic always does a great job with their non fiction books for kids! This book introduces students to Martin King Jr. and his role in the Civil Rights Movement.

I love that the book includes text features such as fun facts, time-lines, and diagrams to add to the information given.  This also makes it a great addition to lessons about text features!

What are your favorite books about Martin Luther King Jr. to read to your students?
