About this listen
An inspiring portrait of a monumental day in US history, seen through a child’s eyes
Agnes can hardly contain her excitement! She’s headed to the March on Washington. Sitting on her father’s shoulders, she’s awed by the sea of people—people of every color, gathered together to be a part of the fight for equal rights for Black people. She soaks in the words of John Lewis and Josephine Baker and is mesmerized by Mahalia Jackson’s singing. Then Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gives a speech about his dreams for his children—for all children. On the bus ride home, Agnes has her own dream: that the words of Dr. King would be heard and embraced by the whole world.

* “Written from Agnes’ point of view, the first-person narrative transports its audience to the most successful civil rights march in American history, as experienced by a child who is moved by Dr. King’s powerful ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. . . . This inviting picture book offers broader context for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a child-friendly way to open Black History Month.”—Booklist, starred review
“Moses’ text is tinged with childlike excitement and wonder. . . . A stirring tale and proof positive that young people can help make history, too.”—Kirkus Reviews
