A Blessing for us from the 7 Laureates!,
By Jackie Lapin "Jackie Lapin" (Westlake Village, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seeking Serenity (Paperback)
This is a children's book like no other. It's a wonderful, fabulous parable, yes, but what other children's book do you know that has been blessed by seven Noble Peace prize winners! Pilar Stella tells the story of Serenity, a child in search of the meaning of her name. Urged on by learning her name means Peace, she seeks out The Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and five other Laureates to discover each of their interpretations, and what that means for the world. With charming illustrations by Maris Cummings, this slim little paperback oozes love and learning for youngsters, and will entice their parents, too. It's a perfect book to read to very young children many times over. Indeed, Stella has met each of the Nobel Prize winners who gave their blessings to this sweet endeavor and their spirits imbue it.
