"Floyd has drawn on his vast experience in the field of children's literacy to compose a beautiful and important biography of Nelson Mandela for young readers. The legendary Black South African leader was a personal hero of mine. He remains an inspiring figure whose life and the cause to which he devoted it should be known, studied, and understood by future generations. The Story of Nelson Mandela is a valuable contribution to the effort to ensure that this great man is never forgotten." --Ron Claiborne, former ABC News correspondent

"Floyd Stokes has done an impressive job of relating the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela in a way that children will find easy to understand and inspiring. Stokes is an engaging storyteller who is committed to encouraging young readers to explore the world through books. Parents and teachers will appreciate the book's 'think tank' moments that invite readers to offer their own insights into Mandela's life.
