What Is Peace? by Etan Boritzer
What does peace really mean, and how can we help create a more peaceful world?
In What Is Peace?, children’s author Etan Boritzer invites young readers to explore an important concept that affects us all. Through thoughtful questions and an engaging approach, this book encourages children to consider what peace means in their own lives, their relationships, and the wider world.
Peace isn’t just about ending arguments or preventing conflict.
