Messages from children who do not want peace to die
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"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.
A treasure - my millennium gift to my grandkids!

This is a very special book - a little book with a vitally important message. Out of the mouths of children around the world are words I found to be wise and touching and inspiring. Children will relate to the illustrations by other children like themselves.This is a book to keep handy and read regularly - an excellent tool for teaching peace to our children, and for motivating people of any age.The book suggests actions for building peace as well as the visions - perhaps,one-by-one, person -to-person,a peaceful world can become a reality! I can think of no better wish for my children, and their children, as the new millennium dawns!
Excellent!
