Great book! My granddaughter loves it.

I found this to be a little on the dry side. As an adult, I can appreciate the interesting topic and historical significance but my children did not seem to be able to make it through to the end of the book.It tells the story of Nelson Mandela and his wife and is written by his daughter. She is answering questions from her grandchildren about her parents life and her life. The questions are poignant the answers are clear and concise but for a children's book, it seems to lack just a little of the touches that make it interesting to younger kids. It kind of feels like you're reading a book report.It bothers me that I feel this way because the subject matter and content are definitely something that I want my children to learn. It's socially conscious and globally relevant especially here in the United States. The illustrations are beautiful and really convey what the author is trying to say as well as very much look like their subjects. I hold out hope that as they age this book will become something they enjoy a little more.

3.5★“Do you know what Ubuntu means? . . . It means, ‘I am because we all are.’ This is what we believe as African people: we believe in treating people the way we want to be treated. This is what inspired Grandad to fight for his people, and what helped him to forgive his enemies too.”On this, the hundredth birthday of Nelson Mandela (born 18 July 1918), it seems fitting to show a new children’s picture book that tells a simplified history of the man, his life, and his legacy.Two of his great-grandchildren are asking their grandma, Mandela’s daughter, about Grandad Mandela – how he lived, where he grew up, why he went to prison – all the things you’d want to know about a man you were related to who was world-famous and won the Nobel Peace Prize.Zazi and Ziwelene Mandela are visiting Grandma Zindzi and begging her to please tell them about the man in the photographs one more time. They asked where he used to live.[My Goodreads review includes an illustration of Mandela as a boy with thatched clay home in background.]Then they want to know why he and other people were upset with the way things were in South Africa. There are illustrations of white police beating black people, and Grandma Zindzi explains about Apartheid.[My Goodreads review includes an illustration of Zindzi as a little girl with her sister and her mother standing next to a park bench while a white mother sits on it with her little girl.]She explains the anger, the fighting and the rallies and how Nelson was imprisoned for many years, yes, even for his birthday. But when the world pressure built up, he was finally released and became the President of the country, leading both black and whites.[My Goodreads review includes an illustration of Mandela as President and the end of Apartheid.]The book finishes on a nice philosophical note.[My Goodreads review includes an illustration of the meaning of Ubuntu – many different people living together.]Grandma Zindzi explains that if they are volunteering to care about people, they are doing the same work as Grandad Mandela.Like the other books in this series, it’s a nice idea to make history very accessible for children and for people who may struggle with “literature”. I still find the illustrations a bit strange and not terribly appealing, but the story is an important one, especially on this hundredth anniversary of a wonderful man.Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the preview copy from which I’ve quoted and copied illustrations. I’m pleased the Mandela family is continuing what Grandad Mandela started.

Grandad Mandela is a picture book biography of Nelson Mandela with a storytelling approach. Mandala’s daughter is answering her two young children’s questions as about who their great grandfather was and what he did. Using this approach allows history and his life story to be told in a gentle and loving tone, in a way that is also not patronizing or preachy. Trying to explain apartheid or why there was government separation of blacks and whites is a topic that is not easy to tackle wth young children who have not lived through it ad who are not indoctrinated with such worldviews but this book makes the important attempt.A short picture book for children cannot ever answer everyone’s questions nor should it. Exposing children to history and biography is important and picture books should be jumping off points for further questioning and answer seeking through other learning activities and reading other books and using other source material, as is age-appropriate. The best thing a book can do is open up a line of discussion after providing material for a child to think about and process on their own, come to their own questions after piquing their curiosity. To learn and to know more in order to seek understanding is the goal of a book and its role in educating people of all ages.Illustrations by Sean Qualls were made with mixed media with collage, drawing, and painting. The color palette of soft muted earthtones and combining blues and neutrals brings a subdued and unified feeling to a book that is filled with tough issues of racism, police brutality, Mandala’s jailing, and prosecution of his children. The treatment of the illustrations allows tough topics to be discussed in the text while not appearing visually scary to children.The overall message of the book is helpful and that change can happen for the better even if it takes decades. Rating 5 stars = Love It.
