Title: Another awesome Todd Parr book
Review: This book is awesome. I've used it in my classroom in conjunction with my socio-emotional curriculum. We read the book and talked about what peace is for us, then wrote a chart together about what peace looked/sounded/felt like in our class and in our school.The simple statements and colorful pictures appealed to everyone in my multi-age classroom. It was not too complex for my younger students, but was not too simple or "babyish" for my older students. On the page that says peace is wearing different clothes, my kindergardeners simply noted it was okay that they all wore different colored shirts. One of my second graders talked about how one character looked like they were wearing a pink burqa, and we talked about how we should respect people's beliefs about religion and dress. They all really enjoyed it.
