From Booklist:

Gr. 3-5. Using Coretta Scott King's autobiography as her primary source, Medearis fashions a concise, engaging biography for young readers. It charts the milestones in King's life from her early ambitions to be an opera singer through her marriage, her involvement in the civil rights movement, and her continuation of her husband's work after his death. Sensitive to many young readers' na{‹}ivet{‚}e about history, Medearis works into the narrative information on segregation, Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott, and other key events in the civil rights movement. Illustrated with soft pencil drawings as well as numerous black-and-white photographs, this title makes a fine addition to easy-reading biography collections. Linda Ward-Callaghan
