This biography of Nelson Mandela describes his life from birth, to activism, to imprisonment, to president.
This informative book not only illuminates the life of an admirable man, but also serves as a stepping-stone to discussions about broader topics such as racism. The politics of South African apartheid are described in ways that children are likely to understand, and the facts are presented in an interesting way. A good addition to a library or classroom's biography section.
