Gandhi: My First Mahatma Gandhi (Little People, Big Dreams Young Reader Edition)

This board book version of Mahatma Gandhi--from the critically acclaimed, mulitimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series--introduces the youngest dreamers to the incredible life of 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."
