Beginning on a personal level, Scholes explains the concept of peace as having the things you need and at least some of the things you want. She then extends the metaphor to define conflict and the various means used to resolve it. The personal tone of the book is well balanced by softly hued full-color illustrations showing children around the world at work and at play. (Ages 4-7)

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