One Hundred Picture Books for Peace
Children face all kinds of conflict as they grow and they don't always know how to deal with it. One Hundred Picture Books for Peace have been selected to show a variety of situations where conflict is managed creatively and nonviolently. Books on this list can be used with children to show examples of conflict resolution, to spark discussion, and to help develop the skills necessary to interact with others in a peaceful and productive way.
