Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You from the Publisher

New in the Little People, Big Dreams series, discover the life of Mohandas Gandhi, the father of India, in this true story of his life.

Mohandas learned from his mother to be honest and always tell the truth. He dreamt of a world where no living thing was ever hurt, and everyone wanted the best for all.

For more than 20 years, Mohandas and his followers kept working to improve the rights of Indians in South Africa. But he wanted to go back to India and lead his country out of the bonds of the British Empire.

His people called him ‘Mahatma’, meaning ‘great soul’. He became the father of the Indian nation and one of the most famous leaders for justice and civil rights.

The Book

The newest addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series highlights the biography of Mohandas Gandhi, the father of India.  

This little boy lived in a city by the Indian coast.  He had a huge heart and his mother taught him to be honest and always truthful.  He dreamed of a world where no living thing was hurt, and where everyone wanted the best for all.  

At age 19 he travelled to London to attend law school.  After earning his degree he went to South Africa to practise law.  His eyes were open to the fact that life as an Indian in South Africa was not easy and they were treated very unfairly by the white people living there.  Gandhi decided to protest against the inequality and staged the first peaceful resistance movement ever.  He sat quietly in the middle of the street and soon thousands of Indians joined him. 

 From that time on Gandhi started dreaming of ways to unite people and religions.  He continued to organize and lead peaceful protests to free India from British rule that would  end violence and unfair treatment.  His steadfast, brave stand turned him into one of the most iconic people of peace in the entire world.  He became known as Mahatma, meaning 'great soul.' 

The illustrations are very well done.  They are detailed enriching  the text  greatly.  The author has included a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist's life.  I recommend this book and the whole series.
