Peace Begins With You (ages 6-10) (illustrated By Robert Ingpen)

Author: Scholes, Katherine

Synopsis
Explains, in simple terms, the concept of peace, why conflicts occur, how they can be resolved in positive ways, and how to protect peace.

Synopsis
"Based on the premise that conflict results because 'people's wants and needs don't always fit together,' Scholes advocates the courage, strength and responsibility needed to choose peace. Her argument concludes with the ideaof inner peace ('Some people can feel this peace even when they are in great pain, fear or danger'), while the book ends with a listing of both concrete and abstract ways to become a peacemaker. {First published in Australia under the title Peacetimes.} Ages five to ten." (Booklist)

Annotation
The concept of peace can be a difficult one for children to grasp, but award-winning author Katherine Scholes succeeds in explaining clearly and simply how and why peace has a place in all our lives. Full-color illustrations.

Building on this definition, she briefly discusses conflicts that destroy peace, ways to regain it, and being a peacemaker. This is a momentous undertaking for a picture book; an inherent difficulty is trying to explain peace. Nevertheless, the text does a credible, if not entirely satisfying job and could open way to further discussion and exploration of the concept. The format presents additional problems. The jacket and opening picture, coupled with the simple text, seem to indicate that this book is suitable for preschoolers--but it is not. The narration quickly becomes too theoretical, and parts of it are obviously directed toward older children. Despite some startling and moving images, Ingpen's pictures often seem to go off on tangents, e.g., when the text mentions peace as the chance to be free from fear, to have the chance to study, and to find love, the i
