Reviews:

-The reader gets to know the man with the quick wit and sparkling personality as well as his strong stance on change without violence, even though he faced intense racial hatred and harassment. Students will learn firsthand about apartheid and how it affected Tutu and his family. —Multicultural Review

-[I]ncludes original quotes from Gish's own interviews with Tutu as it follows his progression from boy to man, the evolution of his social consciousness, and his struggles against apartheid. His perseverance against all odds makes for a particularly strong account. —MBR Bookwatch

-Many quotes, actions, feelings and attitudes of Tutu's should satisfy older teen and adult research needs. —Catholic Library World
