What is I am Gandhi about?

As a young man in India, Gandhi saw people treated unfairly and decided he had to act. Rather than use violence, he developed a powerful form of peaceful protest. After experiencing injustice in South Africa, he returned to India and led a movement that helped free the country from British rule. This lively biography introduces children to Gandhi’s courage, patience and belief in peace, showing how one determined person can inspire change around the world.
