Synopsis

The Children's Madiba chronicles the life of Nelson Mandela with text and drawings of children of 8 to 12. It depicts his journey from the hills of Eastern Cape to the bustling streets of Johannesburg where he studied law and became involved in the struggle for a free South Africa. The book takes the reader on a journey through the hardships that Madiba had to endure, from his time on Robben Island to his victory in becoming the first President of a democratic South Africa, and to his last days as a much loved, elder statesman.
