Walking with Dr. King

Walking With Dr. King: Journey to Justice is a heartwarming children's story that brings Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream to life through the friendship of two 5th-grade girls-Aubrey and Asia.

Aubrey, a white girl with a big imagination, and Asia, a Black girl with a bright smile and even brighter spirit, are inseparable best friends. They learn together, play together, and even win the Dixie World Series together. So when their Social Studies Fair assignment challenges them to ask an important question-
"How has Dr. King's dream of children of all races learning and growing together become a reality today?"
-there's only one answer: their own story.

Through research, teamwork, and a magical moment of inspiration, the girls discover how deeply Dr. King's message still echoes across classrooms, playgrounds, and communities today. Their project not only wins first place-it brings them on a journey of understanding, empathy, and hope.

With warm watercolor-style illustrations and a message woven with love, courage, and unity, this book celebrates:
- Friendship across differences
- The power of learning together
- Dr. King's enduring dream
- Hope for a brighter, kinder future

Perfect for classrooms, Social Studies projects, Black History Month, and families who want to raise children with compassion and awareness, this story shows that the journey to justice starts with small steps-and sometimes, with two little girls holding hands.
