Peace

Baptiste Paul, Miranda Paul

This rhyming picture book considers peace as something people make through deliberate choices. Its examples range from small gestures, such as smiling, hugging, apologizing, and saying a friend’s name correctly, to questions about courage and choosing peace. A closing note explains that conflict affects animals as well as people, and identifies the animals pictured with children as peace symbols from cultures around the world.

Cover of If I Were a TreeIf I Were a TreeAndrea ZimmermanAn unnamed narrator imagines life from a tree’s point of view, considering what a tree might feel, taste, smell, hear, and see. Each spread focuses on one of the five senses and includes elements of a tree’s surroundings, such as sun, squirrels, nests, and bats. Alongside this poetic imagining, a multiracial family goes camping and explores nature with its own senses.
