I was introducing the biography section of the library to a class of 5 & 6 year olds before reading aloud the inspiring story of polio survivor and 3-time Olympic gold medalist Wilma Rudolph.
Me: "And now I have a whole stack of biographies about one person. Must be a pretty important person. We're getting ready to celebrate his birthday in a couple of weeks."
Class: Scratch heads, they have no ideas.
Me: "He was from Atlanta, and even though he's no longer alive, we still remember lots of things he said, especially about having a dream."
Class: Comments like "Oh, I know, I just can't think of the name..."
One little boy: "I know! I know! I can't think of his name, but he's that guy who is buried in the middle of his swimming pool."
