Debbie Robins’ book Where Peace Lives has clarified and bridged the gap between wanting peace and actualizing peace for me. This topic has inspired numerous conversations amongst my children and friends regarding how to achieve peace in their worlds and how to build our ‘peace muscles.’ Thank you for bringing this forward in such a joyous way that can be heard by so many

“It was a fun experience to read your book before publication! The characters were cleverly done - the names were especially humorous. Yes, it’s short, but it was also one of the most interesting books of the summer! The illustrations were beautiful too. Thanks so much for letting us read it - it was very thought-provoking.”
Rachel and Debra Marcus, ages 11 and 15 |

I recognized that Luther was Martin Luther King, Jr. because he had a famous dream. I like how Mahma saved Jack the Rat even though Jack the Rat was very mean and violent. I want to read this over and over and over again”. Mary Parker, age 8 |

“Where Peace Lives” has something for everyone, regardless of race or religious background. I am truly touched and inspired by it! When making daily decisions, I find myself remembering certain excerpts from the book and applying them to whatever the situation may be.

| “The book was deeply moving. I loved the inclusion of diverse peacemakers and the mixture of the goofy and the profound. I was reminded of both The Little Prince and Old Turtle, books that while appearing as stories for youth actually have deeply resonate themes for adult readers. It would also make a lovely movie.” Eric D. Dawson, President/Peace Games |
| |
| “Peace is a pathway. Sometimes gentle, surrounded by an ocean breeze, or a trek where each and every step taken determines survival. Peace comes when people recognize the sacredness of life for all living things. Your book awakens people to their inner pathway which hold the promise of peace. Peace brings people together in celebration of this journey. That promise lives within us and the path we choose is as sacred as our children’s lives.” Nancy Chuda, Founder, Children’s Health Environmental Coalition |
