Nelson Mandela will be mourned around the world. He was a great man who inspired world change in a way only a few in a century manage; a man who united people in peace rather than war.His death will no doubt cause some children to wonder who he was: knowledge one generation takes for granted becomes vague the next. If children want to find out more about him, they may like this picturebook for older children, based on his acclaimed autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. It's an easy to read but informative book, and is a great starting point for children who want to learn more. Or for people who won't get through the 800 page book.
And if they like that, then they could find a worse book to follow it up with than Barack Obama's inspiring Of Thee I Sing.
