A man of peace: Mahatma Gandhi My First Mahatma Gandhi by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, Albert Arrayas

This title is another entry in the inspiring series on famous men and women.  This entry on Gandhi is another winner that will find a welcome spot on young children’s bookshelves.

Gandhi is portrayed as an idealist who dreamed of a better world.  However, he also saw the world with its flaws. Gandhi’s contributions and biography are detailed in this beautifully illustrated book.  Anyone who reads this book and thinks about peaceful protest will recognize the contributions of this man who abhorred racism and the mistreatment of his fellows.

This book is highly recommended.  It is a book for our time and, hopefully, will influence our youngest as they grow.  Mahatma means “great soul.”  This man certainly had one.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
