When the Horses Ride By : Children in the Times of War - Softcover
Wars have occurred throughout history, in all parts of the world and they still happen. Despite the hardship and suffering of wartime, children often find ways to see beauty and hope - in the natural world, in the love of family and friends and in the ordinary activities of childhood. Through these graceful and eloquent poems, written from a child's perspective, young readers will experience this resilience, this optimism and understand that it's possible to get through difficult and unsettling times while holding onto one's hopes and dreams.

Review:
Wars as far back as ancient China and as current as this century's conflict in Iraq are viewed from a child's perspective. Brief, but thought-provoking, free verse poems are mirrored by evocative collage illustrations. A gentle way to begin a dialogue on a very serious subject. -- Children's Reviewer "School Library Journal"
The rhythmic connections in words and pictures will move peace activists, old and young. -- Children's Reviewer "Booklist"
