Three Lines in a Circle: The Exciting Life of the Peace Symbol

Michael G. Long, illustrated by Carlos Vélez

This picture book follows the history of the peace sign, a design made of three lines enclosed by a circle. A London activist created it in 1958 while protesting nuclear weapons. The book then traces how the image traveled beyond its original purpose, becoming a recognizable symbol in demonstrations and social movements around the world.
