Young people have questions and worries; they want to know what is happening in the world and how it affects them. This book approaches their big questions about peace, war, violence, and reconciliation with sensitivity and objectivity. Quotes from children from war and crisis areas make these topics tangible and understandable.

"A book that approaches the topic of peace is refreshing. Raffauf gives us quotes from young refugees who have experienced war and understand the value of peace. We can all learn from their perspective."
—Patricia DeCoster, EdD, Sacred Heart University, Connecticut
