We Can Be Peace

We Can Be Peace helps children and their families think about ways they can help make a more peaceful world for now and for the future. So often, it's easy to assume there's nothing we can do about conflict, but there is. Children have great ideas to help us toward a kinder, more peaceful school, neighborhood, and planet. This book helps families and teachers deal with inevitable-but not unchangeable- conflicts that arise, and gives children the time, space, and encouragement to think about how they can help.
