Coretta Scott is a brand new poetic biography of Coretta Scott King, with words by Ntozake Shange and beautiful paintings by Kadir Nelson. Rather than attempting to tell every detail of Coretta's life, the text emphasizes the core experiences and traits which defined her; walking five miles to school daily as a child and being passed by white-only school buses, meeting and marrying Martin Luther King Jr., peacefully campaigning for freedom, holding onto her faith in the Lord, and "singin' always singin'". I highly recommend this lovely book to young children (and adults!)
