I knew that Arun, the grandson of Mahatma Ghandi would enchant me with a good story, but I was thrilled to see that every detail about the book is beautiful. The illustrations by Evan Turk combine watercolor, paper collage, cotton fabric, cotton, yarn, gouache, pencil, tea, and ten foil. They are exquisite. The illustrations are matched with words that provide beautiful imagery such as this statement, “The tin bowls and utensils we used clanged, making a funny-sounding music.” The main focus of the book, which is about Arun feeling inadequate to live up to his grandfather’s reputation, shares a story about Arun becoming angry on the soccer field and then being overwhelmed with embarrassment as he tells his truth to his grandfather. His grandfather responds by telling him that anger is like electricity, it can strike like lightening and split a tree in half, or it can be channeled, transformed and like a lamp, switched on to shed light in the world.I’m so thankful Arun was willing to share his story. In a time when anger and self judgement threatens our world, this story is a blessing of healing. The publisher, Simon and Schuster did an incredible job bringing this book together. Whether you are a librarian, teacher, grandparent, parent, or the best aunt ever, I think you are going to want to get this book to share with those special kids (or adults) in your life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great elementary school book! *by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016* This book is very cute with bright, bold illustrations that use an interesting art technique. The book is from the perspective of the little boy (Gandhi's grandson) as he works to learn how to channel his anger into more productive routes while worrying how he can live in the shadow of someone like his grandfather. As an elementary school teacher, I loved reading this book with my students and discussing the different themes such as Indian culture, what it feels like when you aren't good at something, and how can we act when we're angry. I could see this book being used in K-3 or K-4 classrooms. It is a little longer so the younger ones might have a little trouble sitting through it, but great message! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful approachable introduction to Gandhi *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2014* It's a great book, well written, with gorgeous pictures but what moved me most about it is Bethany Hegedus' story of how it came to be. Seeking solace after 9/11 she went to hear Arun Gandhi speak. His speech moved her so much she got it in her head that she would write a book with him. She was not even a published author at the time she approached him. What a crazy and amazing idea. And more crazy and amazing is that he didn't brush her off... he said "yes." It took 12 years to get the project to this point... but how awesome and amazing that it even happened. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6709165-grandfather-gandhi](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6709165-grandfather-gandhi) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
