In this breathtaking companion to the award-winning Grandfather
Gandhi, Arun Gandhi, with Bethany Hegedus, tells a poignant, personal
story of the damage of wastefulness, gorgeuously illustrated by Evan
Turk.
At Grandfather Gandhi's service village, each day is filled, from
sunrise to sunset, with work that is done for the good of all. The
villagers vow to live simply and non-violently. Arun Gandhi tries very
hard to follow these vows, but he struggles with one of the most
important rules: not to waste.
How can throwing away a worn-down pencil hurt anyone? How can
wastefulness lead to violence? With the help of his grandfather, Arun
learns how every wasteful act, no matter how small, affects others. And
in time he comes to understand the truth of his grandfather's words: "Be
the change you wish to see in the world."
