review:
'Grandad Mandela' by Ambassador Zindzi Mandela with Zazi and Ziwelene Mandela and illustrations by Sean Qualls is a book authored by the Mandela family and published to coincide with what would have been his 100th birthday. It's a beautiful way to remember a great man.
The story is set out as a series of 15 questions and answers from the great grandchildren about Nelson Mandela. The questions are the sort any child would ask: Why was he in prison? Did he ever try to escape? Were other people wanting justice too?
The questions are answered frankly and illustrated nicely. It would be a good way to introduce a young child to the life of this man and his struggle for freedom in South Africa. I really like that it is written by the descendents of Nelson Mandela.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
