A Taste of Freedom: Gandhi and the Great Salt March

48 pp. | Walker | February, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8027-9467-3 $$17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Giuliano Ferri. A grandfather tells his grandson about the 1930 Salt March undertaken by Gandhi and thousands of Indians, including the old man (as a boy) and his brother, in the fight for India's independence. The glowing watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations reflect the text's idealism, but the story is a good introduction to the event and Gandhi's work. An afterword provides more context. Reading list, websites.
