"This topical book offers much for the young social studies learner and will be useful for springboarding age-appropriate conversations about peace and conflict."—Summer Edward, Horn Book“A powerful book … The paper cut illustrations are gorgeous, detailed and embody the message of hope.”—Toronto Star“A beautiful and uplifting anthology.”—The Sunday Times“Offers a series of poetic vignettes that chronicle small but impactful efforts by people to make life a little bit better… the emotional effect of the lyrical, imagistic text is profound, distinctly laying out the heart of the various problems in a way that makes the subjects' efforts even more admirable."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books review“These portrayals of seven admirable agents of hope and small-scale change are nothing if not inspiring. Celebrating human endeavors like these might prompt more sweeping change.”—Kirkus Reviews
