Peace One Day

Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with the news or feels that their individual actions are too small to impact the world. This inspiring true story follows Jeremy Gilley, a filmmaker who spent years traveling the globe to convince world leaders to establish an official, annual Peace Day. It is a powerful lesson in civic engagement and unwavering determination. While the concept of peace is broad, the book grounds it in the gritty reality of logistics, meetings, and global diplomacy. It is ideal for children ages 7 to 10 who are starting to notice social injustice and need a roadmap for how to channel their idealism into tangible change. Parents will appreciate the way it models the power of a single voice to move international organizations like the United Nations.
