From the back
cover of Go With Peace:
Go With Peace should be in every home, every school,
every community center, every place of worship! This
extraordinary book shows how the capacity for peace develops
from infancy to old age in every kind of setting, from
solitude to international gatherings, and gives delightfully
concrete examples of ways to exercise the skills of peace in
each setting, including some very unlikely ones. Deeply
spiritual yet full of fun (and intellectually challenging),
this book can lift frustrated peacemakers out of the gloom
of difficult times, and release the dynamics of hope in each
of us. ~

This tenderly
and beautifully illustrated new peace education book is a
wonderful contribution to any classroom and every school.
Each page conveys the joy of teaching and the love of
children the author so clearly feels. She invites us to
share in her excitement for the subject and her concern for
future generations. Go With Peace is deeply engaging
for children and pedagogically very solid. The book is
brimming with great lesson plans, key learning objectives,
and fun activities to encourage creativity, independence of
thought, and new skills. What care and reflection went into
preparing this book! What a gift Kelly has given us.
