What is Peace?

What is Peace? explores themes of non-violence and honest self-evaluation as to what makes us angry, distracted and not peaceful. With numerous openings in the text for discussions between children and adults, What is Peace? will help children cultivate the thinking required for peaceful actions. Developing the mindfulness needed to become aware of the agitations arising within ourselves and discovering how to navigate through our sometimes hostile environment, the young reader will be able to take a thoughtful and positive journey through the complex issues connected with peace. It is important for children to realize that problems can be resolved in non-violent ways and that violence is not an acceptable way to resolve conflicts. This message is becoming increasingly important as we are exposed daily to more violence in our homes, in the media, in our communities and globally. This book sends this message of peace to children in a way that is easy for them to understand.
