An omniscient narrator reports that a boy "no more special than you" has achieved world peace by going on a "world tour" with his father in their VW Beetle and handing out cupcakes. Featuring gag-filled cartoony art starring the spiky-haired young pacifist, this book succeeds where preachy random-acts-of-kindness books fail because there's a laugh on nearly every page.
