Gandhi Searches For Truth: A Practical Biography For Children Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Mahatma Gandhi was an ordinary child who tried to do something extraordinary with his life: he wanted to discover Truth. This book chronicles Gandhi's inner and outer journey from childhood to the independence of India in twelve short stories, with beautiful watercolor and ink images of Gandhi and his family. For both children and grown-ups, these stories explore how Gandhi discovered key principles and tools of nonviolence, including concepts like "satyagraha" and "nonviolent non-cooperation." Most importantly, it addresses how we can bring his great message in our own lives and become peacemakers at any age! The author is a Montessori educator in Early Childhood Education and the Executive Director of the Metta Center for Nonviolence.

This is a superbly crafted, inspiring book for all children -- and parents! written by an expert on both Gandhi and young children's education. Ms. Van Hook is both a certified Montessori teacher and the Executive Director of a nonviolence education organization, so she is doubly qualified to approach this special topic and special audience -- young children. I cannot think of anything children need more in today's demoralizing world. As a parent and grandparent myself, I wish I had had this book thirty years ago!
