Mohandas grew up in the Indian city of Porbandar and dreamed early on of a fairer world. As a newly minted lawyer, he went to South Africa. There, he was thrown out of the first-class train compartment because he was not white. He then organized the first peaceful sit-in of all time. Back in India, he advocated for the end of British colonial rule using peaceful methods and was given the honorary name Mahatma – "great soul." Little People, Big Dreams tells the impressive life stories of great people: Each of these personalities, whether philosopher, astrophysicist, or primatologist, has achieved the unimaginable. It all began when they were still small: with big dreams. For what age are these books intended? For babies, the perfect gift to welcome them into a world full of dreams! And parents are encouraged by these books during sleepless nights to make reading aloud a natural part of life. Toddlers will be enchanted by the illustrations - they will discover numerous things. The books are also great "vocabulary trainers"! 3- to 5-year-olds will absorb everything, illustrations and texts, almost like sponges! 6-, 8-, and 10-year-olds have a more developed understanding of the illustrations and the meaning of the story - it's not just about accepting oneself and realizing one's own future dreams, but also about accepting others as they are. Later: The books are great gifts for any occasion, as childhood dreams can become reality throughout life. "The famous ... children's biography series by Spanish author Isabel Sánchez Vegara is among the most beautiful things to read in the children's book world at the moment. ... Simply magnificent."
