This book was created to help children, families and communities find constructive ways to respond to conflict, prejudice, bullying, violence and ignorance. The hope is that schools and communities around the world will use the garden as a safe place to begin discussions on how to respond to these problems in a positive way. In this fictional story Beth and her friends find ways to celebrate the diversity in their school and neighborhood when they turn a rat infested vacant lot into a place where the the community can celebrate its history and its future. In this garden everyone shares the flowers, food, music and stories that define their basic heritages. The harvest is knowledge learned from each other, and this can be an adventure. It can also be a way to cultivate peace. Perhaps this little book will inspire schools and communities to make children's peace gardens a reality around the world.
