The latest National Geographic Children’s Books title by Barbara Kerley, A Little Peace, gives a richly evocative and thought-provoking view of the world our children will inherit. Wise words and moving images offer a unique and enriching experience for every young reader. According to author Barbara Kerley, “I believe that peace doesn’t just rest in the hands of politicians and world leaders. We all have the power to make the world more peaceful.”
The book juxtaposes photographs from around the world with a simple, reflective message about our responsibilities for finding and keeping peace on the planet. Like the highly acclaimed titles A Cool Drink of Water and You and Me Together, this beautiful children’s picture book features superb National Geographic images accompanied by a brief, poetic text on a subject of global importance. All the photography is reproduced in miniature at the back of the book with geographic, historic, and cultural context and details explained. A world map leads readers to the location of each image. A Little Peace offers a vital lesson for children everywhere.

Amazign book This book is filled with beautiful photos from around the world. In the back of the book, there is a paragraph about each photo, so you can use this to talk about the photos. I used it with my 4K classes and the children loved it each time I read it. There are many pages of ordinary tasks/things happening, but it shows how different cultures/countries do things, including clothing, transportation, landscapes, food. Great book for talking about differences in people.
A Little Peace goes a long way………. This lovely and simple book by Barbara Kerley has become part of our theme of PEACE this year. It has also become a gift for guests who visit our school. Its beautiful photos and thoughts incompass all that is important about embracing Peace in our day around the world in all that we do. If I met the author I would give her a hug and thank her for bringing such an important message to life in our school.Rena MethuenSt. JustinEdmonton, Alberta
