In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Mohandas Gandhi, the father of India.
As a young teenager in India, Gandhi led a rebellious life and went
against his parents' values. But as a young man, he started to form
beliefs of his own that harked back to the Hindu principles of his
childhood. Gandhi began to dream of unity for all peoples and religions.
Inspired by this idea, he led peaceful protests to free India from
British rule and unite the country--ending violence and unfair
treatment. His bravery and free-thinking made him one of the most iconic
people of peace in the world, known as Mahatma, meaning "great soul."
This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist's life.
