A Million Visions of Peace: Wisdom from the Friends of Old Turtle

Touching, insightful messages from children combine with colorful pictures to create a captivating and thought-provoking treasure. An activity page at the end of each chapter invites readers to explore peacemaking in their own lives.

"A Million Visions of Peace" was published in response to Douglas Wood's book "Old Turtle" and the Old Turtle Peace Tour, which visited over 150 communities in the United States. The messages of peace printed in this colorful little volume were chosen from hundreds of thousands gathered during the tour. There are dozens of wonderful drawings by children and an even larger number of simple, eloquent hopes for peace, brought together in a wonderful package. This is the inspirational sort of book that you can keep by your bedside and read a page or two a day. There is something touching about the simple wisdom of children who want the adults of the world to remember "Shells for Turtles, not for guns." This book needs to be kept in print.
