Be the Change: A Grandfather Gandhi Story
by Bethany Hegedus, Arun Gandhi
Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Emotion: Greed
Nature: Waste and its effects
Culture: India
Emotionally evocative artwork infuse the concepts of material waste and how it affects nonviolence. Through self reflection and guidance from his Grandfather Gandhi, Arun discovers that the act of throwing away his pencil before he has used all of it is an act of passive violence because it passively hurts others through mining and village displacement. Although a small act, Gandhi encourages his grandchild to "be the change you wish to see in the world" by contemplating acts that seem minor.
