Grandma Luther Kind
In that very building, during a civil rights protest long ago, many Black students organized a sit-in that changed how Black folk could eat in certain restaurants.
And his grandmother was one of those heroes.
"A new-and perfect-kind of bedtime story for all little kids." - Jerry Spinelli, winner of the Newbery Medal
"Rod Martinez has done a great job keeping this important conversation about civil rights alive and relevant to kids today. Imagine if you discovered your grandma was a real superhero. This tale covers a contemporary look back at how local action drove national impact in the civil rights movement."
- George Brown - Executive Director, Highlights Foundation"Grandma Luther King is a wonderfully crafted story that highlights history and the importance of activism for young readers. Martinez hits another one out of the park with relatable characters and a powerful message."
- Maria DeVivo, award-winning fantasy author of The Coal Elf
"An inspiring and empowering tale of a crusade for racial equality pitched at the younger set."
- Marcia Cebulska, award-winning author & internationally-produced playwright, including Now Let Me Fly, commissioned for the 50th anniversary celebration of Brown v Board
"The enchanting Grandma Luther King takes place on a city bus moving through downtown, a beautiful metaphor for the way each generation navigates a many-layered history. I have a 7-year-old grandson myself, and I could feel us riding with these characters, holding our breath to hear every word."
- Karen Schubert, Director, Lit Youngstown Literary Arts, Youngstown, Ohio
