BIBLIOGRAPHIES  -  BOOK REVIEWS  -  ONLINE RESOURCES
PEACE CENTERS  -  PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS   


Message from Director Louise Matthews:

   My favorite picture books address issues to broaden my perspective, 
inspire me or challenge me to action,
and provide an understandable and relevant message for readers of ALL ages. 
The Director’s Choice books highlighted below reinforce the mission of The Lion and Lamb:

“… promote the study of peace and justice, cultural understanding and nonviolent responses to conflict.” 
Here are a few of my favorites...
