Grandfather Gandhi by Bethany Hegedus, Arun Gandhi
4.0

Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Grandfather and grandson

This may need a separate introduction of Mahatma Gandhi but it is a lovely portrait of a loving, wise, and patient grandfather whom Arun, his grandson, looks up to. With the burden of the Gandhi name, Arun feels he must always show patience and nonviolence. When a neighbor accidentally trips him, Arun is enraged and wants revenge. Eventually embarrassed, Arun seeks his grandfather out to talk. Bapuji offers understanding and kind words to move channel his anger into something better.
