Lines in the Sand

by Mary Hoffman and Rhiannon Lassiter

This anthology about war and peace contains poems, short stories and illustrations from 135 contributors from around the world.

 

Written in response to the recent devasting events in Iraq, the result is a thought-provoking medley of messages fostering peace. A wide range of conflicts are featured: the Gulf War, Northern Ireland, Croatia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Nigeria, the Falklands War, the Spanish Civil War, the two World Wars and many more.

 

Inevitably, this book provides a political platform for many of the contributers, but the final and common message is clearly conveyed: No to war and Yes to peace. A useful resource for the classroom that will surely motivate discussion. All royalties and profits from the sale of this book will be donated to UNICEF.
