Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi is a new biography for young readers in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I've reviewed a number of these titles and they all manage to pack an impressive amount of detail in these little books in an age-appropriate and accessible manner.

Due out 2nd May 2019 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln imprint, it'll be 32 pages and will be available in hardcover, and ebook formats.

Written by Isabel Sánchez Vegara it's well written in clear accessible language.  The gentle and sweetly humorous illustrations were well done. I loved the picture of young Gandhi with the dove (see cover illustration).  The art by Albert Arrayas is appealing and colorful and supports the text very well. The illustrations are rich in small subtle details which bear a closer look.

Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition.

Five stars. This would make a superlative reading circle book, classroom library book, or gift.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
