What Will You Do for Peace? Impact of 9/11 on New York City Youth [Hardcover]

Faith Ringgold (Introduction)

Book Description

Following the tragic events on 9/11, New York City youth from many cultures came together to document their experiences on 9/11. In their own words and images, they produced a remarkable book calling for peace and understanding. Their powerful artwork caught the eye of celebrated artist, Faith Ringgold, and they are honored to publish this book in association with her.

In her introduction to the Peace Book, Ms. Ringgold writes:

"When I was shown the layout for a new book titled, What Will You Do For Peace? Impact of 9/11 on New York City Youth, my heart filled with joy. What a beautiful collaboration, a perfect response from New York City's young people, aged 11 to 19. This gracefully poetic account of that frightening day in their young lives is a gift of sensitivity and love. I was amazed at their generosity of spirit. I found the paintings and expressive verse in this book deeply inspiring."

when my mom bought me this book yesterday i was so inspired and touched. My brothers very good friend died on 9/11 and i was so sad, but when i read this book it brought back so many memories, i cried, but not because i was sad but because i was happy to know that there are other people who felt what i felt.

I know two of the co-authors because there are my best friends. I was there when everything happened and we were just in class.I read the book and it's great. I give this book 5 stars and they give different perspective of kids feeling about 9/11. I advise you to buy and it's worth it.
