Grandfather Gandhi

Gandhi, Arun, Hegedus, Bethany — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT

Mahatma Gandhi's grandson tells the story of how his grandfather taught him to turn darkness into light in this uniquely personal and vibrantly illustrated tale that carries a message of peace.
How could he—a Gandhi—be so easy to anger?

One thick, hot day, Arun Gandhi travels with his family to Grandfather Gandhi's village.

Silence fills the air—but peace feels far away for young Arun. When an older boy pushes him on the soccer field, his anger fills him in a way that surely a true Gandhi could never imagine. Can Arun ever live up to the Mahatma? Will he ever make his grandfather proud?

In this remarkable personal story, Arun Gandhi, with Bethany Hegedus, weaves a stunning portrait of the extraordinary man who taught him to live his life as light. Evan Turk brings the text to breathtaking life with his unique three-dimensional collage paintings.

"Even before Jimmy Carter became president, he knew the value of hard work. Living on his family's peanut farm, Jimmy saw how hard work yielded strong results. At least it did for some people. But growing up in the segregated South, Jimmy also saw firsthand how white people and black people were not treated equally. None of it was right. None of it was fair. So Jimmy created a list of Good Mental Habits to help him navigate life's challenges. The list guided his thoughts and actions and helped him fight for change, whether working with civil rights leaders to end racial discrimination in his home state of Georgia, helping to negotiate peace in the Middle East, or building homes for the poor through Habitat for Humanity. From the statehouse to the White House and beyond, Jimmy has worked to make change for all people, devoting decades to public service and becoming one of the most respected humanitarians of our time. It's hard work, but it's worth it"-- Provided by publisher.

Yours, Mine, Ours

Gandhi, Mohandas K. — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT

"What does it mean to be of service? What do we have to give? Can receiving be an act of service? Being a neighbor? A family or community member? A global citizen? Service takes many forms, some as simple as holding a door open, sharing a sandwich, or gathering with friends to beautify a public park. Coauthored by Mahatma Gandhi's late grandson and drawing on both his grandfather's work and the philosophies of educator Maria Montessori, this timely story asks gently guiding questions to encourage even the youngest citizens to be mindful of what they have--and all they have to give. Rich in emotional wisdom, filled with ideas and prompts, and featuring vibrant and richly inclusive illustrations by Colombian artist Andrés Landazábal, this dynamic portrait of children sharing their time, energy, and talents will inspire readers to explore how much it means--and how it feels--to serve the greater good"-- Provided by publisher.
