- Book Synopsis
- Advocate for peace and nonviolent revolutionary Gandhi is the 12th hero in the New York Times bestselling picture book biography series for ages 5 to 8. As a young man in India, Gandhi saw firsthand how people were treated unfairly. Refusing to accept injustice, he came up with a brilliant way to fight back through quiet, peaceful protest. He took his methods with him from South Africa back to India, where he led a nonviolent revolution that freed his country from British rule. Through his calm, steady heroism, Gandhi changed everything for India and inspired civil rights movements all over the world, proving that the smallest of us can be the most powerful. This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are: A timeline of key events in the hero's history Photos that bring the story more fully to life Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable Childhood moments that influenced the hero Facts that make great conversation-starters A virtue this person embodies: Gandhi's commitment to peace is celebrated in this biography You'll want to collect each book in this dynamic, informative series!
