Another very well-presented book in the series that is excellent for children of all ages and entertaining for adults as well. Our 11-year old daughter has a passion for famous historical characters (as part of her interest in history). She prefers to read about a wide range of famous people of all ages and through this gains knowledge about different histories era’s and societies. She has read a lot about the obvious female heroes like Florence Nightingale, Frida Kahlo, Madame Curie ect. However she really likes to know more about other people that she came across. So this range of books with its wide selection of topics is great, she has already the version abbot Leonardo DaVinci, Walt Disney, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Her younger brother likes these books as well.

Of course it is mostly about the adorable cartoon style nature of these little books and how the relative simplicity of the storylines perfectly captures the essence of the topic. Simply brilliant. The 40-page book is very colourful and comes with a durable hard cover. And invariably the books lead to little discussions and questions about the topics afterward, which is invaluable. Like in most modern cartoon movies, these books are full of moralising themes and the storylines mostly centre around these. In the Gandhi book it is about taking a stance against materialism, non-violence and non-cooperation to battle discrimination.
We’re clearly big fans of the series , our little precious collection is growing and we look forward to a few more of these soon.

Our son (about to turn 8) LOVES the “I am” books. This one did not disappoint. These books tell the stories of amazing people in kid-friendly ways, but while staying true to the tough subjects they cover. Well done!

He can read them himself, but mostly a grown up reads the main text and he reads the “bubbles”.

A good book for introducing Gandhiji to kids.

The book is not like a full fledged story book. The content covers Gandhiji's story but each page feels disconnected. The ending is also sudden. The illustration is fun and it talks about all of Gandhiji's good characteristics in a simple way. The language used is US English. Kids around 5 definitely need explanation from an adult for certain words, it ll be easier for older kids.

The book comes with a sleeve, which would
be helpful for storing the book. The real photos provided at the end is thoughtful. It's good that his life story is covered from childhood. The book could have added a few extra pages and went a bit slow. The message at the end is really powerful and of value to kids.

Overall, there is no other book that's quite unique as this book. Young children need to taught about these real life heros. This book makes it interesting and also informative. Kids should learn and follow a few habits from these stories.

Another stellar book by Brad Meltzer. This is my favorite way to learn history, and to share the stories with my grandchildren, who love them, too. Brad's stories show us how one person who cares enough can make a difference in the world. Brad Meltzer is our family's favorite author. There is nothing as much fun as when the book arrives, and we all gather on the couch together to enjoy it. So not only do we learn history, but the children learn how wonderful reading it. And the way Brad writes the books makes them great for the children and the adults. Another hit, Brad!

Wonderfully constructed book. Never have they tried to teach history in a way text books do. What they have taught is what Gandhi stood for. In a gentle way this book shook my child's understanding of words like non violence, non cooperation and non possession. I wish there were more Indian personalities in this series.

I bought this for my students so they could read about the lives of famous people from the time they were children. My third grade students love, love, love the I am series. To see third graders loving biographies as much as Dog-Man is most inspiring and has us on our way to wide reading for the year!
