Parr's simple sentences and quirky, flat, cartoonlike art in neon hues lend themselves beautifully to his chosen theme: e.g., "Peace is wearing different clothes" is illustrated with an image of a woman in a snazzy, seventies-style outfit standing beside a Muslim woman smiling out from under her pink veil. Kids will be lured by the art and the message.
