An inspiring, visual retelling of Gandhi’s life – ideal for young readers curious about history, activism, and courage.
 
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi may have been a quiet child with modest school grades, but he grew up to become one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. This graphic biography for children showcases Gandhi’s remarkable life through bold illustrations, engaging infographics, and surprising trivia.
 
From his early marriage at 13 and his legal studies in Victorian London, to leading a nonviolent revolution and spending years behind bars, Gandhi’s life was as rich and unpredictable as the world he helped change.
 
Created by the team behind the Great Lives in Graphics series, this book doesn’t just tell Gandhi’s story — it helps young readers explore the broader cultural and historical forces that shaped it, from colonialism and religion to vegetarianism and protest.
With over 250 fascinating facts presented through timelines, maps, icons, and illustrated data, this is not your average biography — it’s a visual storytelling adventure.
