Great book. I love this biographies for children. They are especially useful when teaching about biographies. Students need more biographies on their reading levels.

Could give more information about Gandhi. However I did enjoy it overall and the illustrations were enjoyable. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this digital review copy.

Definitely a great read for times like these. My knowledge of Gandhi had been limited to what little I learned in history classes. I feel it is important for kids to learn about Gandhi and see how issues can be solved using nonviolent methods. I love the Little People, Big Dreams books.

Another great addition the the Little People Big Dreams series! I've always known who Gandhi was, but not really what he did. This book provides a great way to explore that for all ages!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC for an honest review.

This series of biographies are a wonderful beginning for kids just learning about historical figures. The pictures are inviting and energetic. The text is simple without being simplistic. The ideas presented leave enough room for kids to do research but tell enough to help them understand why the person is famous. A very nice book and a very nice series.

What a stunning book. Both beautiful illustrations and an interesting story. A lovely selection of highlights of a well known figure

A great gift for a child. It would be a lovely keep sake for a birthday or similar

The “Little People, Big Dreams” series is a big hit in my house, and this addition was every bit as popular. The images were completely charming, and really held my daughter’s attention. The pace of, and level of detail in, the story were just right for my young child, and I learned something too!

Like so many others in this series, it proved a great starting point for more discussion. I know that my daughter will get more and more from this book every time we read it, which will be fairly often judging on how well-received it was!

My thanks to the author, NetGalley, and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for the arc to review.

This biography for kids is about Mahatma Ghandi, a man who became a great leader of India and was the originator of the peaceful protest..

The Little People, Big Dreams series is a great series for young children to learn about the great people who came before them. If you have children or grandchildren who want to learn about the past, you will like this series.

I received a free copy of this book from Frances Lincoln Children's Books and the authors via Netgalley. My review is voluntary.

Mahatma Gandhi was someone who could see what was clearly wrong and show his strength through peaceful protests. This book is beautifully illustrated and not only showcases Gandhi’s spiritual leadership, but gives an accurate timeline to what he went through in his lifetime.

I received two of these to review so this is my second jump into this collection of books. I preferred this out of the two, likely because there was more information to share and I preferred this delicate illustration style for this book. There was more information to go through and it was delivered in small snippets perfect for a childrens book. Though I enjoyed the style, I found all the pages a little too similar and would of liked some change of pace. The last illustrated spread was my favourite and thought it was a lovely end to the book.

I love this series: Little People Big Dreams, short, kid friendly biographies, of people they study! This one chronicles the life of Mahatma Gandhi, and shares the prejudice he faced, even when he was educated in London and working in South Africa. It also includes how he used peaceful protest to make change in the world, even harvesting his own salt to protest the British's high prices. The soft illustrations add to the text and help children understand on their level who Mahatma Gandhi was, why he was important, and some of the adversity he faced.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Quatro Publishing Group in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really liked this book; it talks about the important things that Gandhi did to bring about change in a peaceful manner. Encouraging young kids to make a difference in the world.

These are a wonderfully accessible series of books about incredibly inspirational people; people who our children should know about and have very important messages to share with us. This is a board book version of the hardback with simple sentences for a younger audience. They're very much a picture book biography and a great introduction to a more fact based style of book for a younger audience. Personally, I would probably recommend this book more from around 3 years +. #MahatmaGhandhi #Netgalley Thank you NetGalley and Quarto/Frances Lincoln for the digital review copy.

ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in return for my honest review.

I read this heartwarming book with my son, my children and I love reading the Little People Big Dreams series of books and discuss the inspiring people each one is based on.
Each book is based on well known, influential people from around the world and through time. Introducing our young children to important topics which have major impact on our world.

This book introduces our children to Mahatma Gandhi, one of the worlds greatest activists for non-violent resistance. Mahatma Gandhi was raised to respect all living things and fought against racial segregation by peacefully protesting.
I loved this delightful little book with beautiful illustrations, particularly the little peace dove throughout.

<b>5 out of 5 🌟The Father of India</b>

<i>Little People, Big Dreams</i> are short children books about exceptional people who changed the way we’re looking at the world now. They're enjoyable pieces of non-fiction to savor along with your tiny humans. I love biographies of people who dared to be different, and these short books are one of my favorites.

Each book in the series is illustrated by different artists with their unique style that even non-art-savvy like me can appreciate. 'Mahatma Gandhi' is painted by Albert Arrays with pencils and watercolors and his images fit perfectly into a very tea-like climate of British colonies from a century ago.

The story itself depicts the life of Mohandas (who then became Mahatma Gandhi) as an activist who made his non-violent fight towards India freedom. Even if this short book is destined for children, it contains a lot of information concentrated on an encyclopedic-style page at the end. Most importantly, everything is put in a simple and small kids-friendly way that also speaks to adults.

The read is appropriate for K–2G readers or read-along with parents for younger ones. It's informative and compelling for both adults and children.

<i>Thank you Netgalley and the publisher Quatro Kids for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and feelings are my own.</i>

Another Little People Big Dreams book that describes great people in simple words. Love this series.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

Another great book in this beautiful series about a man who truly deserves to be remembered. the story is written very well and as always the illustrations are stunning.

I love sharing these books with my children as I feel like we are both learning from while whilst enjoying our story time together.

Another fab book by Little People to tell the story of Ghandi, again a story I thought I knew until I read this.
These books are perfect for children of all ages to learn about these famous people.

The newest addition to the Little People, BIG DREAMS series highlights the biography of Mohandas Gandhi, the father of India.

This little boy lived in a city by the Indian coast. He had a huge heart and his mother taught him to be honest and always truthful. He dreamed of a world where no living thing was hurt, and where everyone wanted the best for all.

At age 19 he travelled to London to attend law school. After earning his degree he went to South Africa to practise law. His eyes were open to the fact that life as an Indian in South Africa was not easy and they were treated very unfairly by the white people living there. Gandhi decided to protest against the inequality and staged the first peaceful resistance movement ever. He sat quietly in the middle of the street and soon thousands of Indians joined him.

From that time on Gandhi started dreaming of ways to unite people and religions. He continued to organize and lead peaceful protests to free India from British rule that would end violence and unfair treatment. His steadfast, brave stand turned him into one of the most iconic people of peace in the entire world. He became known as Mahatma, meaning 'great soul.'

The illustrations are very well done. They are detailed enriching the text greatly. The author has included a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist's life. I recommend this book and the whole series.

Mahatma Gandhi written by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Albert Arrayas is a book in Little People, BIG DREAMS series. This series of nonfiction biographies for children has adorable, quirky illustrations.
Mohandas Gandhi was born in India and studied law in London. He worked as a lawyer in South Africa and that was where he initiated the first peaceful resistance movement.
Years later, Mohandas went back to India, had his name changed to "Mahatma" meaning "great soul".
He is remembered as the "Father of India".
Thanks to the author, Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley for a digital ARC of this book.
