"Peace
is watching it snow..."
This
wonderful book is filled with Todd Parr's trademark bold and
colorful artwork, as well as straightforward yet profound
statements about peace.
Kids and
adults will likely pause to reflect on peaceful things and
actions with sentences like, "Peace is everyone having
a home" and "Peace is wishing on a star". A
two-page spread shows a bird soaring in the air, along with
the message, "Peace is being free".
Peace is
an abstract concept that has many meanings—it's both a
feeling and a state—and The Peace Book
effectively illustrates this
powerful concept to children through bold illustrations and
thought-provoking statements.
