Inspired by these twin hopes, Jonah Winter and Sean Addy have created this tribute to fourteen people who risked their lives – bravely, passionately, and peacefully – to help others and make the world a better place.

Read this with your family and be inspired yourself. Because the world needs more Peaceful Heroes.

“‘We need a set of heroes who do not hurt people,’ writes Winter in his introduction to 14 short biographies of figures who have embraced nonviolence, each portrayed by Addy in stirring, sepia-toned collages. . . . [A]s a signpost to a richer understanding of peace, the collection has genuine value.” -- Publishers Weekly
