This is a potentially inspiring book about the desire for peace and the power of activism. However, the often-confusing writing and layout and lack of sufficient context make it hard for the messages to get through. The anecdotes about real children who made a difference, in addition to some of their writing and quotations, are compelling, as are the photographs.
