Overview

Thirty stories of nonviolence and reconciliation show how respect for the dignity of self, others, and nature emboldens people to act peacefully and justly. These stories capture the excitement of action, the encouragement of small acts that make big differences, and the joy of seeing from new perspectives. This book accompanies the art exhibitions created by young people ages 6-19 from Ukraine, Chechnya, and around the world. New stories from Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine have been added to stories from Chechnya, France, Germany, Kenya, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the USA. The artwork and stories depict the power of loving kindness in the lives of both young and old. Friendship, forgiveness, and community emerge in situations where paths of fairness and integrity are not readily apparent.

"""In these dangerous times we can all be encouraged to be active by reading this book. Hooray for all the people, young and old, in widely separated parts of the world, who have cooperated to put it together. If we all get active in some little way, we will see this power leap over barriers of language, barriers of religion, barriers of politics."" Pete Seeger ""This book showed us that the Chechen people were not left alone with their suffering, and in many corners of our planet there are those who still think of them. Paraphrasing John Donne, we may conclude that the Chechen people are ""not an island out in the ocean, but part of the great mainland which is called 'humanity'."" Musa Akhadov, Chechen Writer"
