Gandhi: India's Great Soul

Introduces young children to one of the most relevant spiritual teachers of the past century. Makes early spiritual exploration with children a learning and loving experience. There are a number of biographies of Gandhi written for small children, but this is the only one that balances a simple text with illustrations, photographs, and activities that encourage children and adults to talk about how to make changes happen without violence. Kids will be motivated as they learn about Gandhi's life--from his early days as a law student in London, to his work for equality in South Africa and India--and his methods of peaceful--but not passive--resistance. Introduces young children to important concepts of freedom, equality, and justice among people of all backgrounds and religions. Opens the way for teaching children how to achieve their goals through persistence and persuasion rather than violence and fighting.
