Malcolm Little The Boy Who Grew Up To Be Malcolm X

Description

Malcolm X grew to be one of America’s most influential figures. But first, he was a boy named Malcolm Little.  Bolstered by the love and wisdom of his large, warm family, young Malcolm Little was a natural born leader. But when confronted with racism, terrorism and a series of tragedies, Malcolm’s optimism and faith were threatened. He had to learn how to be strong and how to hold on to his individuality. He had to learn self-reliance. Together with acclaimed illustrator AG Ford, Ilyasah Shabazz gives us a unique glimpse into the childhood of her father, Malcolm X, with a lyrical story that carries a message that resonates still today–that we must all strive to live to our highest potential.”
