Peace, Baby!

(4) PS Illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff. Filled with common childhood squabbles (hogging, grabbing, line-cutting, cheating) and troubles (falling down, losing a favorite hat, dropping an ice-cream cone), this rhyming text offers a less combative and more empathetic, though often simplistic, resolution for each contentious situation: "You could hit her, or instead / try peace, baby." The wishful-thinking story features spry pen-and-ink and digital illustrations.
