Description: "Peace is me. Peace is you. Pease is the great big we of community."--Back cover.

Review Quotes: Peace takes center stage in this picture book co-authored by the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi. . . . Soft, gentle artwork with a cotton-candy feeling infuses the narrative with warmth and depicts the students playing, meditating, and sharing. . . a good starting point to spark discussions about peace and community-building. . . Will encourage young readers to give peace a chance.
--Kirkus Reviews

Inspired, per a creators' note, by the work of Mahatma Gandhi and Maria Montessori, authors Gandhi and Hegedus propose a mind-expanding definition of peace in this gently insistent picture book. . . . Landazábal echoes the text's sunny vision of community with light-infused watercolor, pencil, and gouache imagery depicting children of varied skin tones interacting. It's a simple and inclusive vision of harmony.
