Winter is often thought of as a season of peace. The snow, the holidays; the shift into a new, fresh year. Children often ask what peace means, exactly. They hear the expression "Peace on Earth" and listen to mom imploring them for some "peace and quiet," but they don't always understand the concept. Different families and cultures view peace in many ways; from harmony with neighbors and acceptance of one another, to personal well-being and calmness in your heart. Peace is about what you do, and who you are. Here are eight great books to share with your kids when discussing the meaning of peace in your lives.
