written by Daniel Paul morrill.. age: 8 1/2

I loved it because he is really special, and he helps everyone. because of him, the brown people who used to be slaves, and the kids who used to be bullied in school all the time, now their lives are happy and different. the brown people aren't bullied anymore. I have a little girl named Kathleen in my class who is medium brown, and she doesn't get bullied, and if she did, I would sit with her at lunch every day. I will always remember Martin as a hero. love, Daniel.
