Peace Begins with You frames peace as real and possible and peacemaking as right and actionable in our daily lives and on the world stage. It establishes universal human needs, the inevitability of conflict, and the possibility that resolutions to disagreements may lead to a better life for everyone. Inner peace is even attainable at times when the outward circumstances of life are not calm. The story empowers readers to engage and work for peace. This book can stand alone or serves very well as the beginning of a longer exploration of Peace. This books makes a great addition to a home or Quaker meeting children’s library.

Peace
can feel warm, bright, and strong–
or calm, cool, and gentle.

It can be found in a place that is busy and loud–
and be missing in the calmest, quietest place on earth.

Peace means different things to different people
in different places, at different times in their lives.

So . . .
What is peace?
Where does it come from?
How can you find it?
And how can you keep it?
