Mandela once wrote that, 鈥淓ducation is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.鈥� He was right 鈥� and that's just one reason that teachers and parents will enjoy sharing his story with children. This edited version of Mandela's inspiring 1994 autobiography 鈥淟ong Walk to Freedom鈥� was abridged by author Chris Van Wyck. The writing here is clear (enhanced by color-and-sepia illustrations by Paddy Bouma) and the history behind it is highly informative. The book is aimed at children ages 8 and up.
