Global Conflict (Children in Our World) - Hardcover

"Children are often full of questions about the world, but sometimes the answers can be complicated or troubling. Titles in the Children in Our World series aim to help little ones grasp some of these complex issues by offering gentle explanations, which are further softened by amiable illustrations of round-faced kids. Spilsbury does a nice job of discouraging fear; rather, she encourages kids to rely on people trained to help and seek out common ground with others who might seem different. The soft artwork and accessible, age-appropriate language make this well suited to curious kids in the picture-book set."
--Booklist

"A powerful opportunity for discussion with youngsters and a worthwhile purchase for home and school collections."
