Unlike many of the songs that have become picture book texts, this one builds up a real head of steam for world peace, and captures the childlike optimism of the original song for a new generation. -- School Library Journal (starred review)

Cat Stevens (AKA Yusuf) wrote this remarkable song decades ago, but the message is timeless! I love books that illustrate beautiful songs with a powerful message! I bought this book for my grand children (5-15), their parents, and myself! It definitely spans the ages. For a real treat check out The author, Cat Stevens reading this book for Barns and Noble! You can find it on YouTube. However, like I always say, when I try reading the lyrics, I can’t help but burst out in song! Turns out Cat Stevens does, too!

The minute I found this I had to have it ! Growing up with this song and having grand babies I just had to. The artwork is BEAUTIFUL!! And the song done in this way is such a beautiful way to pass it on and teach love and peace. I actually sat with mine and played the song and we read along and it worked !! he was leaning to sing it ! Such a beautiful moment. If you know nothing about this Song it's ok the book is so beautiful it will have you searching for it. I highly suggest it. I have started to gift this book and everyone just loves it.

This book is so beautiful! As a child of the 70s I have always loved Cat Stevens and this song. I pre ordered the book for a gift fir a 4 year old, but once it came in, I realized this is not just a child’s book. It is a book for everyone that hopes for a better future. Since then I have given this book to adults and then we play the song and sing the words in the book! I can’t say enough about how beautifully this book is illustrated. The colors are a feast for your eyes!!!!
