Malcolm X submitted by poptart887 on July 21, 2020, 6:27pm A very informative book about his life, from birth to adulthood. What awesome values and qualities his parents taught him and his siblings. What a great and inspiring person he became despite the hardships he had faced in his life.
This book is very long and very wordy. I would not recommend this book for preschoolers. We unfortunately were not able to make it through this one.
