Saw this cute little childrens book around how to share the idea of International Peace Day with kids. I haven't gone to the sites that were in the book (below) but I couldn't resist posting a couple snips.

"Imagine," said Johnny, "if the world tried peace for a day maybe peace would stay."
"Dear President," or "Dear Prime Minister," or "Dear King," or "Dear Queen" if that was the case, "We the children of the world, are tired of all the wars, tired of all the killing and suffering.

Thank you and May Peace Prevail on Earth"

I also was just sent this quote that I really like. An author wasn't attached to it - so I don't know anything more about it.
