Book Description
"Peace Begins with You and Me" unfolds into an inspiring story about children from all backgrounds who learn how to respect themselves and each other. As they become more aware of the positive power of their words, actions, feelings and thoughts, they create innovative ideas for bringing a unified vision of "being peace" into every school, home and neighborhood throughout the whole world. The script is user-friendly and flexible, and inspires diversity celebration, inclusion, anti-bullying, self-esteem, respect, nonviolent conflict-resolution, friendship, earth preservation, the power to change, empathy, kindness, love, peace and hope. This teaching tool is designed to help students, teachers and parents address challenging problems and serves as a seed that leads to values-oriented discussions and activities. The goal is to teach children how to work together in a cooperative and respectful environment. At the same time, they begin to understand the true meaning of every word written in the script and how each word applies to their lives. For added reinforcement, creative writing, discussion, journal writing, "Peace Promises," and Peace Begins with You and Me" Clubs can also be integrated into the curriculum. The play can be performed with minimal cost, and can be edited and interpreted freely. All songs are composed by Cheryl Melody, and the music is written in easy keys, with every word containing positive character-building messages. All song lyrics, bonus raps and poems, and seven notated songs for voice and piano are also included. In addition, the author adds information on where to locate, listen and download each song. Appropriate for ages eight through 17, and characters and themes can be added, deleted or modified according to the needs and issues of the school. Although optional, adults are often included in the play, and there is a unique opportunity for audience interaction, too. "Peace Begins with You and Me" can be performed in schools, service organizations, places of worship, and in any place that seeks to encourage a world of hope, peace and love.

Peace Tree from Hiroshima
Author: Sandra Moore
Publisher: Tuttle Publishing
ISBN: 1462917232
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
**Winner of the 2015 Gelett Burgess Award for Best Intercultural Book** **Winner of the 2015 Silver Evergreen Medal for World Peace** This true children's story is told by a little bonsai tree, called Miyajima, that lived with the same family in the Japanese city of Hiroshima for more than 300 years before being donated to the National Arboretum in Washington DC in 1976 as a gesture of friendship between America and Japan to celebrate the American Bicentennial. From the Book: "In 1625, when Japan was a land of samurai and castles, I was a tiny pine seedling. A man called Itaro Yamaki picked me from the forest where I grew and took me home with him. For more than three hundred years, generations of the Yamaki family trimmed and pruned me into a beautiful bonsai tree. In 1945, our household survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In 1976, I was donated to the National Arboretum in Washington D.C., where I still live today--the oldest and perhaps the wisest tree in the bonsai museum."
