Children from the Ambrit International School in Rome describe what peace smells, looks, sounds, tastes, and feels like (e.g., it feels "like the fur of a baby mouse"). The concept is inspired and timely, and Radunsky's vivacious color art manages to be moving without being maudlin, but, with their myriad and occasionally domineering typefaces, the spreads can be more anxiety-provoking than pacific.
