Another wonderful book about great people of history, beautifully illustrated and well written. Tells the story of Mohandas Ghandi in a very simple way, so children can understand about this great man. A wonderful book to introduce children to Ghandi and introduce them to further ideas like protest, racism and peace. Another great read this series is wonderful wish we’d had these when I was young
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
This was my least favorite of these books so far. Ghandi's story was told well and the illustrations matched the story, but it glossed over some of the questions about Ghandi's attitude towards non-Indian POC in a way that made me a little uncomfortable, even though I understand that could be difficult to add to a picture book for kids.
This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
I've always been intrigued by Gandhi. So much so that he was actually part of my high school thesis. The fact that he was able to create a peaceful resistance movement is very inspiring. Children would benefit a lot from learning more about this astonishing man who changed so much using just the power of peace.
The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This one is about the great Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He was the first one to use non-violence to rise up, and I think this is a very important thing to teach to children.
