Children’s book release scheduled
Children’s book release scheduled for International Day of Peace, September 21, 2018, features the new children’s book, I Can See Peace, by Julie Penshorn.
Sensitive and Multicultural
In this sensitive, multicultural book, the ability to see peace even when it’s hard is a key emphasis. When the resilience of children is being sorely tested, this book provides a particle of light, hope, and some guidance through the dark places.
Official reviewer at Online Book Club:
“I Can See Peace was a surprise hit. I loved the writing, the activities at the back and the artwork. . . can easily see parents wanting to re-read this to their children, or children looking back at it when they’re in need of calming down. My rating of I Can See Peace is 4 out of 4 stars.”
Review by Biana Walter, volunteer at Online Book Club:
“I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. . . couldn’t find anything about this book that I didn’t like. . . would recommend it to teachers who will gain valuable ways to teach children the subtle beauties of the world. I would also recommend it to parents. There are some great exercises that can be done with your own child to ensure that they can find peace – they just need to know where to look.”
Seeing Peace Takes Muscles!
The ability to imagine and see peace takes practice. Essentially, one must build the muscles to do it. By starting young and practicing on a regular basis, children can make the world a more peaceful place. Importantly, this book shows children struggling with strong emotion, their health, interpersonal conflicts, and working through their struggles to find peace. The music notation for the song, “I Smile at Myself” is also included, and music is available at Amazon and others online and from the author to help the concepts sink deeply into the hearts and minds of children.
