My son came home and told me he was doing a school project about John Lewis. I knew the basics about Lewis. However, I didn't know enough to be able to discuss him at length. I remembered this three-book series and checked them out. And, after reading March: Book One, I am glad he chose Lewis for his project.

March: Book One is a very well-done graphic novel. Engaging artwork. Layered storytelling. The perfect blend of heart, social commentary, gravitas, and humor. Graphic novels are not usually something I gravitate towards, but I couldn't put this one down. Lewis was pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement; his story should be required reading.
