The Story of Gandhi is part of a very good series of biography books for young readers. Getting children to learn about men and women who made significant contributions to society will benefit them by inspiring them even in small ways to do what the others did. Gandhi was one of the most significant leaders in history. He spoke about peace, respect for all people, and giving everyone equal rights. This book tells how he came to do all these things that children should emulate. --Israel Drazin, author This is a must-read and is beneficial for adults and children. Gandhi made the world a better place, and we should all strive to be like him. This book is packed with simple and beneficial information, and the pictures are great. --Jeremiah L. Olson This is such a great book for us to read with our kids. The story is written in a way that is easy for kids to follow and has lots of talking points to engage with the kids and get a conversation going. Gandhi's story is so important and inspiring, and it has been fun to read this with our kids. It is good to read together or as a family to stop and take time to discuss the book and really get the most out of this inspiring story. We are really happy with it and definitely recommend it. --Cass Young
