Written by Mandela‘s daughter, the picture book has her children asking about their grandfather. Nelson Mandela‘s grandchildren then learn about the great man, the conditions he grew up in, and the change he brought about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Published to honour the 100th anniversary of Mandela's birth, this picture book has Mandela's two great-grandchildren in conversation with their grandmother Ziwelene about their great-grandfather's revolutionary fight for justice against apartheid in South Africa. The book is set up in a question-and-answer format that might be a helpful way for young readers to think about heavy concepts. The artwork by Sean Qualls is just gorgeous! #netgalley

Grandad Mandela is a B picture book written by Nelson Mandela‘s family is a beautiful depiction of his life. In the book Mandela‘s great grandchildren ask their grandmother (Mandela‘s youngest daughter) 15 questions about their grandad. These questions are used as a vehicle for Mandela‘s daughter to tell beautiful stories of his life that depict his legacy.

4⭐️ This history lesson in picture book form was interesting. It deals with Mandela‘s grandchildren asking their mother about who their granddad was and why he went to prison, what he believed etc. I think the book is very successful in it‘s points, and uses simple language to help kids understand Mandela and his life.
