Grandad Mandela
Grandad Mandela | Ambassador Zindzi Mandela, Zazi and Ziwelene Mandela
6 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
Two great-grandchildren ask their grandmother 15 questions about the man they remember as Grandad, and the world remembers as Nelson Mandela, the global icon of peace and forgiveness who spent 27 years in prison. They learn that he was a freedom fighter who put down his weapons for the sake of peace, and who then became the President of South Africa and a Nobel Peace Prize-winner, and realise that they can continue his legacy in the world today. Seen through a childs perspective, and authored jointly by his great-grandchildren and daughter, this amazing story is told as never before to celebrate what would have been Nelson's Mandela 100th birthday.

Written by Mandela‘s daughter, the picture book has her children asking about their grandfather. Nelson Mandela‘s grandchildren then learn about the great man, the conditions he grew up in, and the change he brought about. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Published to honour the 100th anniversary of Mandela's birth, this picture book has Mandela's two great-grandchildren in conversation with their grandmother Ziwelene about their great-grandfather's revolutionary fight for justice against apartheid in South Africa. The book is set up in a question-and-answer format that might be a helpful way for young readers to think about heavy concepts. The artwork by Sean Qualls is just gorgeous! #netgalley

Grandad Mandela is a B picture book written by Nelson Mandela‘s family is a beautiful depiction of his life. In the book Mandela‘s great grandchildren ask their grandmother (Mandela‘s youngest daughter) 15 questions about their grandad. These questions are used as a vehicle for Mandela‘s daughter to tell beautiful stories of his life that depict his legacy.

Erothert I would use this book as a PR because you could have one student reading the questions and one student reading the answers. Scholastic has a unit of lesson plans on the life of Nelson Mandela in which this book could be incorporated at http://www.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=3758626. 6y
Erothert This lesson covers UDL strategy 6.3 facilitate managing information and resources and ESOL strategy 28. Provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries. #UCFLAE3414SP18 6y
DrSpalding I added this to my stack. Great idea to have students partner read and discuss this man‘s amazing accomplishments. 6y

4⭐️ This history lesson in picture book form was interesting. It deals with Mandela‘s grandchildren asking their mother about who their granddad was and why he went to prison, what he believed etc. I think the book is very successful in it‘s points, and uses simple language to help kids understand Mandela and his life.
