The prevention and cure for violence in the world is not more violence, it is to teach peace.

Teaching Kindness and Peace has been written for parents, grandparents, teachers, and everyone who works with kids. An opening chapter describes the relationship between Art and violence, and shows how literature appreciation is a cornerstone for a new educational philosophy based in Love, Sincerity, Reading, and the Arts. The book then explains how to use the world's great stories and novels to teach children three life-enhancing habits: the habit of reading, the habit of asking questions, and the habit of talking openly about important experiences, feelings, and ideas.

Included in this 325-page work (105,000 words) are five complete classic stories; excerpts from five great classic novels; and a list which forms the basis of a Lifetime Reading Plan for great children's books.

Published in PDF format, this ebook may be printed out and read on paper, or read on-screen using almost any type of computer: PCs, Macs, and PDAs.

Teaching Kindness and Peace is a PDF ebook: download the ebook, then read on-screen, or print the 8.5" x 11" pages using your computer's printer at your office or home.
