I tried very hard to find Martin Luther King books for toddlers.  There is a real hole here.  Nothing interested Ivy!  However, in honor of MLK, I would like to promote two books celebrating two black authors: Ezra Jack Keats and Barack Obama.

Ezra Jack Keats is an amazing illustrator.  Although Ivy loved his A Snowy Day, A Letter To Amy has been a big hit near Valentine's Day.  Young Peter wants to invite Amy to his birthday party by sending her a letter.  Will she accept?  What will the boys say?

In honor of my mother and Matt, my husband, I found a piece of Americana - President Obama's victory speech.  It is complete with photos from the campaign and the victory speech.  Look for Yes We Can! A Salute To Children From President Obama's Victory Speech.
