Editorial Reviews

Peace is revealed Todd Parr style in this refreshing, eloquent picture book from the author of the bestselling The Family Book and It's Okay to Be Different. In his usual style of primary-color illustrations and simple statements that convey profound meaning beneath a jovial exterior, Parr tells readers about how to bring peace to their neighborhood and describes both the essence of peace and what it feels like. From "Peace is keeping the water blue for all the fish" to "Peace is offering a hug to a friend" to "Peace is having enough pizza in the world for everyone," the author gives kids plenty to think about, with smiley-face characters always reassuring kids that peace means happiness and contentment. For those who haven't yet discovered Parr's brand of storybook magic -- and for anyone looking for a ray of sunshine during turbulent times -- The Peace Book is a great place to begin.
