Another great non-fiction picture book in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series.

I didn't know much about Mahatma Gandhi as he wasn't a figure discussed much in the history classes I taught. Most of what I know is from the news, YouTube and vague references in other works. It was great to be able to pick up a little book and learn something! Even adults can learn from these children picture books. That's a great thing about this series!

I will advise readers to remember that these books are for children and introduce historical figures. Gandhi was not perfect or a saint, he was human, but we don't need to teach young children (that's the market segmentation for this book, by the way) about all the bad in the world. Give them some information about the individual and let them do more research after.

I adore this series, and I totally recommend picking this up if you want to add some non-fiction picture books to your shelves! They are short, sweet, and packed full of useful information. These books make non-fiction biographies fun for kids!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. ( )

Gandhi aprendeu ainda pequeno que a violência não é solução - nem sequer para lutar contra as injustiças, que também ele sofreu. Mahatma Gandhi é o 8.° livro da coleção «Meninos Pequenos, Grandes Sonhos», depois de Ella Fitzgerald, Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking, Teresa de Calcultá, Amelia Earhart, Frida Khalo e Anne Frank. Nesta coleção, meninos e meninas vão descobrir como pequenos sonhos se transformam em grandes histórias de vida que mudaram o mundo em que vivemos.

Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher at ALA Annual 2019. I also received a digital review copy through NetGalley. ( )

Such a stirring story of a man who just wanted better for his people. I love that these books start by looking at a childhood and progressing to the reason they are a “known individual”. I also like that the story is basically told a second time when real pictures are used to give a timeline of the person’s life. ( )
