Peace on Earth is a luminous picture book from the creators of Rain Before Rainbows that gently explores peace, conflict, and healing. A cheerful group of friends journey together—until an argument darkens their path. What follows is a tender exploration of discord, forgiveness, and the joy of rediscovered harmony.
With lyrical text by Smriti Halls and glowing illustrations by David Litchfield, this book reminds readers—young and old—that peace takes courage, but it makes love and friendship whole. A powerful resource for conversations about kindness, empathy, and hope.

This book feels especially timely. With everything happening around the world—especially children caught in conflict—Peace on Earth feels poignantly innocent and deeply hopeful. It’s a gentle, wholesome reminder that peace starts small—with us.
