Reviews
A book that gently teaches the true essence and workings of peace. WHAT IS PEACE? helps children to know that peace begins within ourselves, that peace, and the happiness it gives, does depend on having things. A wonderful reading experience!

WHAT IS PEACE is a truly wonderful look into understanding what peace can be on an individual basis, and how to share that peace with everyone you know and meet. This title gives you ways to really grasp the values that are essential to knowing peace from the inside out.

WHAT IS PEACE? sends a message of peace to children in a way that is easy for them to understand. The book helps children to understand that problems can be resolved in nonviolent ways, and that violence is not an acceptable way to resolve conflicts. I strongly urge parents and all childcare providers to read this book with their children!
