This lyrical picture book chronicles Mohandas Gandhi’s 24-day, 240-mile march to the Arabian Sea in 1930. To protest the British salt tax, Gandhi and his followers walked to the coast to collect their own salt from the ocean. Written in free verse that mimics the steady rhythm of a long walk, the story highlights Gandhi’s commitment to Satyagraha (non-violent resistance). Gonzalez’s sweeping, earth-toned illustrations capture the dust of the road and the growing momentum of a people determined to claim their independence through peace.
