In this tale about a spiritual and political leader, Demi's stylistic richness honors and celebrates Gandhi's commitment to a spare life. Each exquisitely rendered miniature painting in this attentively designed book is bordered by two complementary narrow bands of colors, and then enframed with gold. Gandhi may well inspire young readers to seek out more of the complex history of this remarkable humanitarian.
