Junior/Intermediate (Gr. 4-7) "In one-page biographies... profiles 16 world peacemakers... Beautiful collage borders frame the text... opposite each biography is a full-page picture, a composition of watercolors, photography, cut paper, and found objects, that expresses the individuality of the activist... brief, fascinating art notes at the back explain (the) choice of materials for each picture. The focus is very upbeat... the piece about Anne Frank gets... mushy... the picture for Princess Diana... looks like a greeting card... Better are the illustrations for Chavez... and for John F. Kennedy... Readers will be moved by Zalben's comments, which reveal that many... subjects trace their activism from... childhood. A glossary, a bibliography... and a list of general resources are appended." - Booklist, Jan 1 & 15/06.
