"Four Steps: A Tale of Friendship and Peace" is a luminous, heart-stirring story about the healing power of innocence, empathy, and ownership language in the face of deep division. Set against the backdrop of a world too often torn by conflict, this beautifully illustrated tale follows two six-year-old girls--Naomi, who speaks Hebrew, and Noor, who speaks Arabic. Though they come from different worlds, they meet in the timeless space of childhood: a sandbox, a sunny day, and the promise of play. But when a misunderstanding erupts into tears and anger, the two turn to their fathers for help--and receive four simple yet profound steps to resolve their conflict. Little do they know, these same steps will later become the key to something far greater. When the devastating war of October 2023 shatters their homeland and breaks their mothers' hearts, Naomi and Noor do something extraordinary: they choose peace. By sharing the four wise steps, they ignite a ripple of healing that transforms their communities--and ultimately helps unite two nations into one visionary future of peace, creativity, and compassion. With its rich, evocative watercolor illustrations and a gentle yet powerful message , Four Steps is more than a children's story--it's a guidebook for families, educators, and peacebuilders everywhere. Supplemental teaching materials make it a perfect tool for classrooms, workshops, or reading at home. If you believe in the possibility of a better world--and the wisdom of children to show us the way--this book belongs in your hands.
