Congratulations! Yolanda Renee King, the granddaughter of Martin Luther King Jr., is continuing her grandfather’s legacy at just 15 years old. She wrote We Dream a World, a picture book meant to inspire readers of all ages to dream big, act peacefully, and stand up for justice in their communities.

Yolanda has been inspired by her grandparents, Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and she feels a responsibility to continue their work. She often speaks at schools and events, including the March on Washington, encouraging young people to use their voices for good.

Her message is simple: even small actions can make a difference. By sharing her story and ideas, Yolanda hopes to motivate the next generation of dreamers to take peaceful action and make the world a more fair and equal place.

Her book was released January 2, 2024, and is already inspiring readers everywhere.
