What does PEACE feel like?

One of the great reads we enjoyed last week was, What Does Peace Feel Like, by Vladimir Radunsky.  Using the five senses as a springboard for describing peace, children from around the world fill the pages of this beautiful book with smells, sounds, tastes and images of peace.


Here are some favourites of mine that the children recorded after.
