When Mohandas Gandhi is thrown off a train one day, it marks the beginning of a journey. A journey to put an end to the unfair treatment of Indian people in South Africa. A journey to teach everyone that you can change the world without using violence. A journey to make the world a better place. A long journey that begins with one small word: No.

In this book, young readers are introduced, in an engaging and accessible way, to one of South Africa’s – and the world’s – greatest and bravest heroes, the remarkable Mahatma Gandhi.

Also available in Afrikaans as Hoe om ‘n trein te stop.

Wanneer Mohandas Gandhi eendag van 'n trein afgegooi word, is dit die begin van 'n reis. 'n Reis om 'n einde te maak aan die onregverdige behandeling van Indiërs in Suid-Afrika. 'n Reis om almal te leer dat jy die wêreld kan verander sonder om geweld te gebruik. 'n Reis om die wêreld 'n beter plek te maak. ’n Lang reis wat begin met een klein woordjie: Nee
