From Library Journal:

Two new books seek to promote peace among children and their parents, teachers, and community. Both succeed very well. Arnow (Inst. for Cultural Understanding, Lexington, Kentucky) is a goldmine of information. She covers how to raise children peaceably at home, at school, and in the neighborhood, dealing with war toys, gender equality, hate groups, children's literature, TV violence, and video games. Numerous checklists rate books, toys, TV, and your school setting. Associations and workshops are gathered into extensive, usable lists. Arnow includes samples of school and community policies that work. With its useful bibliographies, this is a highly valuable tool. Cecil's approach offers practical one-on-one advice, particularly about conflict resolution. Centering on family life, she believes children can model peace-filled lifestyles from an early age. Dozens of simple activities help foster diversity rather than prejudice, always promoting peace over hostility. There is an extensive bibliography for both parents and children. Cecil is the author of many books on multiculturalism and literacy, among them Developing Multicultural Awareness Through Children's Literature (MacFarland, 1993). Both books are valuable additions to all public and school libraries.?Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, Pa.
