Can You Say Peace? by Karen Katz



This multicultural book is all about how to say Peace in different languages.  While reading this book, you meet several different children from different countries- India, America, Japan, Australia, Russia, Bolivia, etc.  In the book, it gives you the different ways to say “Peace” in all of these different languages.  There is a sense of community in the book because all of the children want peace! 

At the end of this book, it has an informational page on the International Day of Peace, September 21.  On this day (or close to this day) in school, we could talk about Peace and diversity in our culture and other cultures.  It would be really interesting to find all these different countries on a map and connect this book to a social studies map lesson.
