Publisher Description:

This award-winning, multicultural children's book won the Gold Medal in the "Health" category and is the Indie Human Relations Peace book of the Year (2018), surpassing adult's and children's books. It shows that even a child with arguing parents, severe illness, or in conflict with bully, can find ways back to peace and can restore mental health.

In situations where peace could be hard to find, children learn to seek peace using mindful breathing, meditation, conflict resolution and more. Realistic scenarios help children believe that peace can be found if they seek it.

This book is a profound visual and inspirational journey for children. Jeanine-Jonee Keith has drawn children of all sorts of ethnic backgrounds appreciating the planet's wonderful beauty, even when they are surrounded by poverty, personal challenges, or interpersonal conflict. The book merits many readings, as the pictures say much more than the words alone.

Children learn that peace is all around them and can be found in some unexpected places. Sometimes it can be difficult to see peace, but even when it is interrupted, "I have the power and the wisdom to seek the tools to solve things peacefully."

When strong emotions hit us like lightning bolts, it can be very frightening. This book shows children in traumatic situations others can relate to, learning to deal with their strong emotions and get back to peace.

The included parent and teacher guide helps adults and children gain a deeper understanding of the concepts. The music notation for the "I Smile at Myself" song is included.

Contributor Bio(s): Penshorn, Julie D.: - Winner of the Human Relations Indie Peace Book of the Year, with "I Can See Peace," and the Family Human Relations Children's Book Gold Award with "The Barnyard Buddies STOP for Peace," Julie Penshorn partners with artist Jorry Keith to create irresistible characters around peace and its challenges. For details use this link. http: //humanrelationsindiebookawards.com/results.php, Visit https: //www.smarttoolsforlife.com, for free, downloadable resources. Penshorn's children's books both hold Readers Favorite 5-star reviews. https: //readersfavorite.com/rfreviews/search?search=Julie+Penshorn Even the complex topics of conflict resolution, anger management, seeing peace, and other social and emotional skills are easily understood by young children when delivered in stories and songs that encourage youngsters to use their imaginations to readily memorize and internalize the skills so they become their new normal. Penshorn creates a unique learning experience for children through her words and her excellent illustrator's work that so capably brings forward a certain 'feel' on every page. Children can empathize with the characters in the story, and relate to them. They can feel their pain and angst, their satisfaction, their joy, and their successes. They can see that the story has a given outcome because of the choices that were made along the way. The teacher or parent only must facilitate, which is easily done by reading the book! Penshorn's books provide some suggestions for extending the learning in the back of the book, including Parent and Educator Guides. They serve more traditional education needs, but each book will also stand alone. When the books are read multiple times, children recite passages from memory. Then it's deep in their hearts and minds. Then they "feel" it. Then you know their lives will be changed. Then they become the leaders of tomorrow capable of creating a culture of peace.
