Gandhi, Arun and Hegedus, Bethany Be the Change: A
Grandfather Gandhi Story, Illustrated by Turk, Evan. PICTURE BOOK.
Antheneum (Simon), 2016. $18.99. Content: G
A young boy spends a couple of years living with his grandfather,
Mahama Gandhi. Arun learns hard work and among other things, not to waste. After
he tosses a stubby pencil, he is confused about wasting things and the concept
of non-violence come together. Gandhi guides him to the answer with an activity
and advice. Loving illustrated with collage style artwork .
This is a lovely story that brings to life the teachings of
Gandhi, rather than just a plain biography. It is well suited for third grade
and up. You could try it with younger readers, but non-violence divided into
passive and aggressive might be confusing. This could also work as an all age
read-aloud.
