This manual includes sections which contain theoretical discussions around children's social development, program ideas and strategies, children's issues in their own voices and images, obstacles for adults to overcome, and many resources including organizations, children's and adult books, video and audio resources, and an appendix with supplemental information and program examples.

Through examples of stories, music, poetry, cooperative games, and the integration of three curriculums - Peace Education, Anti-Bias/Diversity Awareness, and Democratic Practice - one has the rationale plus encouragement to put inot practices concepts of social equality." ~Marilyn Pearce, First Grade Teacher and Peace Camp Volunteer |
