Peace on Earth

By Smriti Halls

Illustrated by David Litchfield

From the creators of Rain Before Rainbows comes a beautiful book that lights a path for all those who dare to dream of peace.

‘A story of peace that we should all be singing. Wondrous.’ Michael Morpurgo A happy band of friends journey together, but dark clouds threaten their friendship and they lose their way in a story that starts in the safety of the happy and familiar, then goes on to explore the difficulty of discord and hurt; what it means to lose and find peace again; the bravery it takes to be a peace-maker; and the jubilance that peace ushers in. From smiles to small gestures, to natural beauty, we discover that while peace isn’t always easy to find, it makes love and friendship whole.
