Little Nelson's given name was Rolihlahla, which means 'troublemaker' in Xhosa, his native language. But his rebellious nature would lead him to become one of the world's most inspirational civil rights leaders and anti-apartheid revolutionaries.
Despite the many years of imprisonment and adversity he faced, Nelson remained firm in his mission to end the racist system of apartheid in South Africa.
His bravery and resilience was rewarded when he was released from prison and later voted in to become South Africa's first Black president. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist turned president's life.

Grades K-3 The Little People, Big Dreams series (9 new titles) is well known for its kid-friendly, picture-book biographies. This latest batch introduces youngsters to admirable figures from the past and present with its trademark endearing illustrations and upbeat tone. Occasional use of antiquated language--picture house instead of movie theater, for example--and a few instances of awkwardly translated text (this series hails from Spain) may cause young readers to stumble, but the compelling stories will keep them moving forward. The kind, determined spirit of South Africa's champion of equality comes through in Nelson Mandela, which delves into Mandela's mission to end apartheid. At the end of these charming books, readers will find a time line with photos of each book's subject and a more detailed biography of his or her life.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
