Description

In this kids' biography, discover the inspiring life story of Mohandas Gandhi, whose teachings of compassion and non-violence helped to win his country's freedom.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born at a time when his home country was choked under the oppression of British rule. Many thought that violence was the only way to fight back, but Gandhi disagreed. Instead, he successfully used his teachings of non-violence and civil disobedience to win his country's freedom, and to promote his philosophy of peace and equality. In this biography for kids ages 8-12, see how Gandhi--called Mahatma, or "great soul," by his many followers--changed the world through his words and deeds, which still resonate worldwide today.

DK Life Stories go beyond the basic facts to tell the true life stories of history's most interesting people. Full-color photographs and hand-drawn illustrations complement thoughtfully written, age-appropriate text to create an engaging book children will enjoy reading. Definition boxes, information sidebars, fun facts, maps, inspiring quotes, and other nonfiction text features add depth, and a handy reference section at the back makes this series perfect for school reports and projects. Each book also includes an author's introduction letter, a glossary, and an index.

A beautifully organized collection on the life of one of the world's greatest spiritual and political leaders. Highly recommended for Grades 4-6 learners.

I just loved this book, in fact, I am now reading a much more in-depth book on Gandhi and this helped to give me the big picture and timeline of his life to better understand this next book. This is a great book for students 3-12 grade, a classroom, or a must for a library. The 123 page book is organized into 12 chapters arranged from his early childhood, time in London, his work in South Africa, his return to India, his marches, time spent in jail from civil disobedience, hunger strikes, and his assignation. It has a great Glossary of terms, illustrations, timeline, section of Who’s Who, and even a ‘quiz. Highly recommend.
