Summary:
When young Tybre Faw discovers Congressman
John
Lewis
and his heroic march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in the fight for the right to vote -- Tybre is determined to meet him. Tybre's two grandmothers take him on the seven-hour drive to Selma, Alabama,where
Lewis
invites Tybre to join him in the annual memorial walk across the Bridge. And so begins a most amazing
friendship
! In rich, poetic language, Andrea Davis Pinkney weaves the
true
story
of a boy with a dream-together with the
story
of a real-life hero (who himself had a life-altering
friendship
with Martin Luther King Jr. when he was young!) Keith Henry Brown's deeply affecting paintings bring this inspiring bond between a young activist and an elder Congressman vividly to life. Both
John
Lewisand Martin Luther King, Jr. have left indelible marks on future generations. Will Tybre be next to carry the mantle?
