Season after season, the mountain people give life to their crops with water from the river, while the valley people use water from a nearby lake to nourish their fields. Despite their similarities, neither allows the other to seek water on their land--instead, they exchange harsh words, and when drought descends, they come to blows. But when the hottest summer yet brings torrential downpours, the waters overflow and trap the valley people. A wise mountain girl sees their plight and says, "We need to help." Featuring an afterword by Maya Soetoro-Ng, The First Day of Peace is a fable for a time when many parents and children are deeply worried about our warming planet. At once timeless and timely, it sheds light on the importance of protecting the environment and of sharing rather than fighting over the earth's precious natural resources. Todd Shuster's lyrical writing is brought to vivid life by Tatiana Gardel's rich and luminous illustrations in a story for everyone who hopes for love, justice, and peace across all mountains and valleys."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Kindness $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Sharing $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Global warming $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Picture books. 700 1 $a Soetoro-Ng, Maya, $d 1970- $e author of afterword. 700 1 $a Gardel, Tatiana, $e illustrator. 710 2 $a Candlewick Press, $e publisher. 941 $a 4 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020921.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20231102010551.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230902013054.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012429.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F58088E495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
