I am Gandhi - Brad Meltzer

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.
