Ebine, Kazuki. (2010). Gandhi: A Manga Biography. New York, NY: Penguin Books.
This is a graphic novel of Gandhi's influential life. Beginning with Gandhi as a young boy this book portrays all of Gandhi's emotional evolution as he learns to be selfless and speak in front of huge crowds using Indian teachings that are thousands of years old. His non-violent methods created waves of movement first in South Africa and then in India. By telling Gandhi's story through a graphic novel this valuable lesson in history becomes available to many more readers. Unfortunately, several spelling errors, one even in Gandhi's name may deter readers, but the series by Penguin is one to watch in order to provide this information to reluctant readers. (Grades 5 and up).
