Story Pool
Together, the stories and artwork in this global story pool capture themes of friendship, forgiveness and reconciliation in situations where fairness and integrity are not readily apparent. The courage to act peacefully, especially when all one knows or remembers is war, is embolden by a deep respect for the dignity of self, others and the Earth in all our diversity.
We invite you to browse the titles and look at the accompanying artwork. When you find a story that catches your attention, read it through.
