I am Gandhi

fullDescription

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!

     November 15, 2017
     Grades 1-3 This relatable and moving account of Mahatma Gandhi's life in India and South Africa is part of the Ordinary People Can Change the World series, and its graphic memoir format packs in a great deal of emotion with information. For example, the plight of the untouchables, the poorest of the poor in India, comes across vividly in panels showing young Gandhi and his father walking through streets crowded with their huddled forms. When Gandhi is kicked out of a first-class train compartment in South Africa because of his brown skin, the scene has extra force due to Gandhi's narration, the dialogue bubbles, and the punchy illustrations. Gandhi is shown throughout as an old man but child-size. As a child, he says, he was shy, afraid of the dark and snakes, and bad at sports and multiplication. This humanizing device should make readers take heart, and take to heart the lessons that Gandhi goes on to teach about the importance of taking action, protesting nonviolently, and becoming a voice for the voiceless.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)

     From childhood anecdotes ("I was shy... I spent most of my time with books") to the discrimination he faced to development of his �cf2]Satyagraha�cf1] ("Truth Force"), the scope of Gandhi's struggles and accomplishments is conveyed. There's some gentle moralizing, but it's well delivered via this biography series' child-friendly setup: a chatty first-person narrative and cartoon art with occasional comics-style frames. Photos are appended. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
