Wednesdays with The Subversive Children's Book Club: Peace on Earth

The Winter Holidays always make me think of that Wild Star's promise of Peace, and Heaven knows we need to work for peace more than ever now during this dark night for our country and its peoples. Here, then, is another edition of the Subversive Children's Book Club with themes of Peace.  Peace on Earth, Mamas. Please pray for it and work for it each day.
