Gandhi by Demi (Margaret K. McElderry Books, 2001)

The life of this extraordinary leader who fought "the disease of prejudice" through nonviolent means is accompanied by stunning illustrations.

The Mahatma Gandhi.org web site provides additional information about Gandhi; his life, his work and his philosophy.

Look for Grandfather Gandhi by Arun Gandhi and Bethany Hegedus, illustrated by Evan Turk (Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2014) next March.

It's amazing!!!!
