review 1: How would you like a book that could be read a double-page at a time, starting important conversations each week for a long while? Following the eternal question asked in the Tao Te Ching, How can we bring peace to the world?, Halperin adds to that question by adding answers like ‘for there to be peace in the world, there must be peace in nations’, and then ‘peace in cities, neighborhoods, and on, until she arrives at our hearts. This is an important book, each page filled with beautiful quotes that are then illustrated in some special way. For example, with the quote, “Today more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of universal responsibility, not only nation to nation, human to human, but human to other forms of life.” The illustration sh... moreows farm animals. One quote that spoke to me as a teacher is “There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children.” Kofi A. Annan. Everyone should own this book!
review 2: Soft, muted colors quietly draw the reader into this book about Peace. The book is dedicated to your senses: To Seeing, To Touching, To Smelling, To Tasting, To Hearing. The font chosen for the books is “Love Ya Like A Sister.” It opens with, “For there to be peace in the world” and then each two-page spread is a visual delight that covers a topic. Famous quotes about peace, and additional text share how we can find peace in many places around the world. As Jimi Hendrix said, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” Each quote is illustrated with Wendy’s detailed art. A feeling of peace and calm fill each page. This is a book that you will want share with young children and read over and over again. Perfect for gift giving! less
