Title: What if they gave a war and nobody came?
Review: In light of the recent events and our reaction to the terror, this book asks essential questions that I'm not sure we gave ourselves time to ask. How often we tell our children/students, "Use your words," implying "not your fists" and yet after 9/11 did we follow our own advice? Read Slap Your Sides with your children. Talk about the issues of courage, pacifism and the options we have when our government acts in opposition to our conscience. Courage does not always mean going along with the crowd and patriotism comes in many forms and with many different visible outcomes. W.W.II was a good setting for this story and the Quaker beliefs an appropriate frame but these issues are vital today more than ever. I'm so glad I found this book and hope to share it with many others. Thank you ME Kerr!
