Children respond warmly to the idea of a world without war, and this book helps them articulate their hopes and dreams for a better world--at school, in the community, and on a world scale. The poems and prayers, drawn from biblical, traditional, and contemporary sources, also provide inspiration for how the reader can, through their attitude and actions, work for peace in their own world. The illustrations by Giuliano Ferri combine warmth and sophistication--a lovely match for the theme.
