Starred review in The Library Journal for MARCH: BOOK ONE!

Here's a new starred review for March: Book One from The Library Journal:

"Lewis’s remarkable life has been skillfully translated into graphics... Segregation’s insult to personhood comes across here with a visual, visceral punch. This version of Lewis’s life story belongs in libraries to teach readers about the heroes of America."

And a starred review from Kirkus:

"A powerful tale of courage and principle igniting sweeping social change, told by a strong-minded, uniquely qualified eyewitness... the heroism of those who sat and marched... comes through with vivid, inspiring clarity."

As well as a starred review from Booklist:

"Dazzling... a grand work."
