Like a Shared Toy
Imagine you're playing with blocks, and another kid wants to join the game. If you both say “Okay!” and play together, that’s peace, like sharing your favorite toy. But if one of you says “No! I want it all!” then there's a little bit of fighting, just like when two kids argue over who gets the last cookie.
Peace Is Everywhere
Peace isn’t only between friends. It can be in a classroom, on the playground, or even at home. If your brother stops teasing you and starts playing with you instead, that’s peace too!
Sometimes peace happens when people talk things out, just like when you and your friend both say “I’m sorry” after you argue.
Peace is simple, but it can make everything feel better, just like a big hug from someone who loves you. Peace is when people get along and feel happy together, just like when you and your best friend share your favorite toy.
Etan Boritzer wrote a children’s book called What Is Peace? to help kids understand what peace means in simple, fun ways.
