"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
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"
Summary: "Collection of poems about children around the world, focusing on the children's perceptions of war and how the turmoil of war affects their lives. An author's note provides additional context"--Provided by publisher.
