“PEACE Begins on the the Playground” ~ i love this positive message!

Mother Teresa said, “I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.”

I just created this button that I’m bringing with me to the IBBY Conference in Fresno this weekend. I know the world celebrates (is “celebrates” the right word?) Bully Month — (or is it Get Rid of Bullies Month?) in October, but I would much prefer a Campaign for Kindness.
