History shows that some men have the ability to call to others to rise, stand and be counted for something greater than self. These men dispense hope and call on their fellows to pursue a nobler purpose. These inspire others to dream of more, to dare to reach for the possibilities.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived his life in this way. He stands in stark contrast to those that grasped at the spotlight for the sake of prominence and fame. He didn’t just push for change in the laws that governed access and opportunity; he pressed for hearts to be moved to do the right thing. He promoted excellence as a worthy goal.

What changed King from being an average preacher to an international figure calling for change? It started when Martin Luther King met Coretta Scott. Coretta and Martin Luther both loved opera. That was what brought them together for their first date. The following spring, King proposed to Scott and she accepted while agreeing to support his calling as a preacher. After the incident where Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for not giving up her bus seat to a white man, King was called and with Coretta’s permission, accepted the position of leading the boycott against the bus system that propelled him to a more prominent stage in life. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went on to inspire change amongst his followers by taking action to gain certain civil rights such as the right to vote, the right to gather to talk and the right to march.

Not surprisingly, Dr. King’s life has served as inspiration for a tribute written by a grandmother from Tennessee entitled, Listen To My Dream.

This volume is Debi Pearl’s first children’s book. Debi’s husband, Michael Pearl, provided the colorful illustrations for this volume that calls to a new generation of readers to remember the message of Dr. King. Appreciation goes to the Heirs of The Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr. for their cooperation to make this book possible. Listen To My Dream was made possible by the cooperation of the Heirs of the Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr. Go to the book’s website now to reserve a copy of Listen To My Dream by Debi Pearl.
