Gandhi's peaceful revolution is the focus of the thirteenth picture book in this New York Times bestselling biography series about heroes. (Cover may vary)

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 momentsthat influenced the hero

. Facts that make great conversation-starters

. Avirtue this person embodies- Gandhi's commitment to peace is celebrated in this biography
