Another great addition the the Little People Big Dreams series! I've always known who Gandhi was, but not really what he did. This book provides a great way to explore that for all ages!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for this e-arc. All opinions are 100% my own.

This was a lovely bitesize look at the life of Mahatma Gandhi, who I admittedly didn't know an awful lot about.

Now I know more, I can better appreciate all he accomplished in life, for the better treatment for people, and his promotion of fairness, kindness, and ultimately: Peace, particularly in India, where Britain had control.

I am really enjoying this series of biographies and I think they would definitely appeal to young children in both school settings and at home.

Illustrations and presentation are, once again, a delight.

Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<

This is a beautiful book that will be perfect in the hands of young readers. It captures the life story of Gandhi and how he used peaceful efforts to make big changes, and empower the Indian people. The illustrations are lovely, and the color scheme is perfect for attracting the attention of the smallest of readers. This series has become a household favorite, and this is a wonderful edition to the growing collection.

I received this e-ARC from Netgalley for an unbiased review. Review additionally posted to Goodreads.

'... sometimes, the power of peace is greater than the power of force.'

A fitting inclusion in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I enjoyed the artwork, and the recurring motif of the little white bird of peace. Rather inspiring.

This is a short book, but is packed with facts about the life of Gandhi as well as the reasons for his peaceful protests. It's length and simple pictures make it great for a classroom read-aloud. It's a wonderful addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series of biographies for children.
