Kailash Satyarthi has fought injustice his whole life. As a young boy, he raised money for poor children so they could attend school. As a teen, he fought caste discrimination by sharing a meal with "untouchables." As an adult, he has fought against child labor, rescuing over a hundred thousand children.

In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Malala Yousafzai. This inspiring picture book shows that anyone can strive for change and make a difference.

"My only aim in life is that every child is free to be a child."

- Starred Review, School Library Journal

"In this moving picture-book biography, Venkat tells the inspiring story of Satyarthi’s determined work for change, which began with compassionate actions and led to worldwide awareness." – BOOKLIST

"Informative and brilliant in concept and design... A highly readable biography about an inspiring man, this is a first pick for all libraries." – SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL.

"Seeker of Truth is a tribute to a fascinating man whose gifts are compassion and perseverance." – MARGARITA ENGLE, Newbery Honor winning author of 'The Surrender Tree.'

"This memorable account of a remarkable life is told incrementally, “little by little, drop by drop.” Through uncluttered text and buoyant illustrations, Seeker of Truth opens doors to thoughtful conversations about real-life injustice." – UMA KRISHNASWAMI, ILA Social Justice Award winning author of 'Book Uncle and Me.'

"SEEKER OF TRUTH is an essential story about a global leader that will empower children to think about how they can help change the world for the better, "little by little, drop by drop." Srividhya Venkat explains a complex problem in the most child-friendly way, and her powerful words pair beautifully with the warm, dreamy tones and textures of Danica da Silva Pereira's illustrations. Together they perfectly capture the gentle demeanor of Kailash Satyarthi, his bold dreams, and the actions he has taken to make them come true for himself and for children around the world. Inspiring." -– ALEXANDRA S.D. HINRICHS, author of 'The Traveling Camera: Lewis Hine and the Fight to End Child Labor' and former youth services librarian.
