A timeless message of how peace can spread from one person to another, ideal for Christmas time, as well as all year long.

Feridun Oral’s art is full of wonderful, wintry details, making it a book children will want to revisit again and again.

In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews called it “A lovely, quiet book with something powerful to say.”

Long ago a special child was born, and the animals heard a song of blessing and good will for all the creatures of the earth.
But now the birds wonder why no one sings the song anymore. The old owl tells them, “People don’t listen. Some think the message is not for them.” The birds are determined to bring the message to those who will listen— the children. And so they fly far and wide, each singing the song of joy and peace, passing it on from bird to bird and from child to child. Here is a beautiful story about the powerful role we all have play in passing on the timeless message: “Let there be peace. Peace on Earth.”
