Prayer for World Peace

About the Book

"A candid and direct picture of war, poverty, and inequity, but equally emphatic about the power of hope and faith."—Publishers Weekly

A universal message of hope and serenity among all of Earth's inhabitants.

Jane Goodall is a world-renowned naturalist who brings her passion and her quest for understanding between all the Earth’s creatures to the fore in this beautiful and affecting prayer for world peace. She asks us all to rise above our dogmas, to bring a spirit of generosity to the living world around us, to pray for justice and for those who are suffering. Illustrated with rich and colorful artwork, this is prayer that’s both personal and universal and one that will speak to people of all ages from all backgrounds.

"We're all in this together! New book teaches kids generosity of spirit . . . . A great bedtime story option with spiritual punch!"—kidsyogadaily.blogspot.com

"Adults interested in introducing a broad, nature- and compassion-based form of spirituality to children will be pleased with Goodall's approach, which emphasizes kindness and interconnectedness. That theme is borne out in the illustrations, which occasionally feature hints of human figures in abstract scenes of nature and make very effective use of color to evoke sympathetic feeling."—Sarah Hunter, Booklist
