I AM GANDHI YR SC

Now in paperback, here is the inspiring story of Gandhi's peaceful revolution, part of the New York Times-bestselling series of biographies of heroes for ages 5 to 9. This friendly, fun biography series, inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, focuses on the traits that made our heroes great-the traits that kids can aspire to in order to live heroically themselves. This book tells the story of how Gandhi used the principles of nonviolence and noncooperation to fight discrimination against Indians in South Africa and to end British rule in India. Like the series' biography of Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi's story focuses on his peaceful heroism in the struggle for civil rights and social change.
