As Good As Anybody

A little-known story of the friendship between two civil rights heroes

by Phoebe Assenza
Age: 4-8 Retail Price: $14.52
Available at: amazon.com

Chronicling the lives of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the segregated South, and Abraham Joshua Heschel in Hitler's Europe, As Good As Anybody tells the little-known story of these two men's special friendship, and draws on parallels in both the African American and Jewish struggle for equal rights. The story culminates with both men joining hands in front of a 3,000-person 1965 march in Selma, Ala., and is powerfully written in a way that could give most readers awe-inspired goose bumps.
