Summary
How could heâÈ'a GandhiâÈ'be so easy to anger?
One thick, hot day, Arun Gandhi travels with his family to Grandfather GandhiâÈçs village.
Silence fills the airâÈ'but peace feels far away for young Arun. When an older boy pushes him on the soccer field, his anger fills him in a way that surely a true Gandhi could never imagine. Can Arun ever live up to the Mahatma? Will he ever make his grandfather proud?
In this remarkable personal story, Arun Gandhi, with Bethany Hegedus, weaves a stunning portrait of the extraordinary man who taught him to live his life as light. Evan Turk brings the text to breathtaking life with his unique three-dimensional collage paintings.
