Nelson Mandela

I really enjoy the books in this series and I love the mix of people that are featured.

This book features Nelson Mandela and gives a brief overview of his life and shows that passion and determination can help people succeed and really can change the world for the better.

The illustrations in the book are great and they really bring the book to life.

It is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended!

A wonderful new addition to the ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ series, Nelson Mandela’s story is an inspiring one. Perfect for young children with lots of colourful illustrations this book tells of Mandela’s unrelenting belief in a fairer society for everyone and how he achieved his dream. Thank you to the author, Net Galley and Quarto publishing for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A good simple introduction to Nelson Mandela for young children. My daughters aged 7 and 5 were able to absorb most of the details of Nelson’s story and reading the book prompted a brief discussion about apartheid. Illustration wise, this book isn’t as jazzy or colourful as some of the others but this suits the story and tone of the book I think. I enjoy reading these books to my daughters as I often feel I learn a lot more about the subjects myself. An important addition to this range of books and many thanks to Quarto and NetGalley for the chance to read and review in advance.

I have read lots of the books from the little people big dreams series, and I adore them. I always love the chance to read another book in the series.
I am super pleased to say that this book on Nelson Mandela was no exception.
I learnt a lot.
The illustrations were beautiful, and despite the small amount of pages, I still felt like I got to know more about the amazing man.

This is an excellent summary of Nelson Mandela's life and achievements. A great introduction for children. I really enjoy this series!

(Note: small typo on the first page. Should read "He was a member *of* a clan...")

I don't think I have ever not learnt anything from this series of books!
Another great read, that told Nelson Mandela story from that of a young boy, and of his dreams of making black people be seen as Equals by everyone.
I was born in 82 so I remember him being on the telly a lot when I was younger, but didn't know in much detail what he had done and went through - other than the fact he was in prison for a long time. This book taught me so many new things.

i loved this!! I need one for every famous history person there is!! The illustrations are SO cute and it is told so simple which i LOVE. and I’m now off reading the next one

A wonderful introduction for young readers to learn about Nelson Mandela without too much detail.
The colours in the book reflect his story really well.
This book also shows the struggles that a country divided faced subtly for a child that may raise questions from them.
Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book, I adore this series of books.

I think this will be a particularly popular addition to the Little People, Big Dreams collection.

These biographies are age appropriate; inspiring and interesting, but not overwhelming. They have bright, beautiful illustrations, striking covers, and look great on a shelf together. I love the diversity of the people featured in this series. Artists, athletes, authors, activists, actors, explorers, entertainers, musicians and scientists.

Thank you NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Beautiful and inspiring

This Little People Big Dreams book chronicles the life of Nelson Mandela. In typical LPBD fashion, the illustrations are quite detailed and the story is told in an inspiring way. I learned some new facts and am planning to read more on Mandela in the future. What an inspiring man. Definitely another very good book that I can recommend.

I love the Little People Big Dreams books, as do the children in my class, so I was delighted to be given the chance to read another one in the series.

As with the other books in the series, it contains lovely illustrations and key facts, written in a way that younger children can understand. The timeline detail at the back is aimed at older children as the language is more complex and more details are included.

I would happily recommend this book to children in my class. They will learn a lot about Nelson Mandela in a fun and interesting way.

I found this book very interesting to read. It is a children's book, which shows the life of Nelson Mandela, from when he was a young boy, up until he was an old man. He had a very diverse life, especially since he experienced being in jail for a long time, and then going on to become a president of South Africa. Throughout his life, he brought many changes to the world, and he became famous.

The graphics in the book are nice, and the text is easy for children to read, with just enough information to keep a child occupied, but not too overwhelmed.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another great addition to this wonderful series.

This book is the perfect introduction to the life of Nelson Mandela for young children. The book gives many opportunities for adults and children to have a conversation about the difficult topics surrounding South Africa's history.

My family moved to SA recently from the UK. This book gives us a foundation from which we can build on their knowledge of the rainbow nation they now call home.

Bringing Nelson Mandelas life in to a children's book, is such a fantastic idea. The colourful images help convey the important messages that Mr Mandela had. A beautiful book.

I'm a big fan of this series of books. Such a great way to introduce young children to a range of inspirational People.
This one tells the story of Nelson Mandela, a great introduction with lovely illustrations.

I have loved every single one of these books and enjoyed this evening be just as much. The life story of Nelson Mandela is so inspiring and fascinating and was a great book to read with my children. This series always manages to balance the learning and informative elements with the fun of the pictures and story to really capture children's interest. I love that this can really reach so many different ages of children
