When Will There Finally Be Peace?

  • By a renowned author and children’s media consultant
  • Many direct quotes from children in areas of conflict
  • With an afterword by the author for adult readers

Children want to know what is going on in the world and what that means for themselves. War, crises, and hunger are always present in the media but often highly abstract for children. At the same time, children are confronted with the topic in a concrete way by their environment and the presence of refugees. As parents often find it hard to choose the right words to talk about it, this book provides answers to children’s questions about war, violence, terror and people seeking refuge. It also approaches the central question about peace and reconciliation. The accompanying quotes from children who fled from conflict areas make the topic better to grasp for all children aged 7 +. The ideal companion for all families who want to tackle the big questions children have about the state of the world.
