Description
When Mohandas Gandhi is thrown off a train one day, it marks the beginning of a journey. A journey to put an end to the unfair treatment of Indian people in South Africa. A journey to teach everyone that you can change the world without using violence. A journey to make the world a better place. A long journey that begins with one small word: No.
In this book, young readers are introduced, in an engaging and accessible way, to one of South Africa's - and the world's - greatest and bravest heroes, the remarkable Mahatma Gandhi.

Persons
Stephanie Ebert grew up in a house that loved books, and was the sort of child who got in trouble for reading novels in school assemblies. She chased her love of a good story through a degree in English Literature from Taylor University, USA, to a job in non-profit communication, to a master's in Sociology from UKZN, where she focused on the stories of anti-racist activists. She loves seeing the past come alive through stories. Stephanie lives in Pietermaritzburg, and drives past Gandhi's famous train station at least once a week.
