Janet Wilson challenges today's children to strive to make a difference in this beautifully illustrated, fact-filled and fascinating volume of portraits of many \"heroes for today.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Canadian Craig Kielburger, who started Free the Children to help victims of child labor at the age of twelve, has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize. Farlis Calle, forced to identify the body of a young friend--a victim of her country's civil war--started the Columbia Children's Movement for Peace. At age ten, Kimmie Weeks, a refugee from the Liberian civil war, came within a whisper of being buried in a mass grave. Almost miraculously he survived and vowed to make a difference in the lives of other children. At thirteen he established Voices of the Future, Liberia's first child rights advocacy group. Other portraits feature the accomplishments of children from Sarajevo, Japan, the United Kingdom, Cambodia, Afghanistan and the United States. These moving testaments to the courage and initiative of youth will inspire readers young and old.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1551438925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551438924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orca Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 8.22w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2008 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2009 pg. 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2009 pg. 118 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw","brand":"Janet Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071127941375,"sku":"9781551438924","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbc86f99-51b2-432b-a4cc-e4a5b53af689.jpg?v=1685434313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-peace-janet-wilson-9781551438924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
