TIMES OF WAR AND PEACE: DEALING WITH KIDS' CONCERNS Susan Goldberg Toronto, Annick Press, 1991. 94pp, paper, $6.95 ISBN 1-55037-202-5. Distributed by Firefly Books. CIP Professional Reviewed by Ruth Bainbridge Volume 20 Number 3 1992 May Susan Goldberg, Ph.D., studies parent-child relationships at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. She is actively involved in Parents for Peace and gives workshops for parents, educators and community groups on how to talk to children about issues such as war and peace. Times of War and Peace was written in response to the Persian Gulf War. The author felt that children needed to understand war and to actively develop peace-making skills. The author strongly feels that children need to be able to voice their concerns, to be guided in an understanding of why wars happen, to examine how the media portray events, and to identify other means of resolving conflict. The book contains guidelines for educa­tors for dealing with their own concerns as well as those of the children. There is a game to illustrate economic inequality. Several other educators have contributed articles on a variety of war-related topics, including multiculturalisrn vs. racism, the historical importance of wars, misuse of war toys (Pacijou Project), the role of the media, bullying at school, and how children can become peacemakers. The resource list is annotated and identi­fies numerous books for adults as well as children of various ages, films and videos, Canadian organizations and journals, and American organizations and journals. This book would serve as a valuable guide to any educator or parent wishing to address the topic of war and peace with students of all ages. Ruth Bainbridge, Humber College, Etobicoke, Ont.
