The Color of Peace
Paperback
(Cat's Corner Publications May 2, 2014)
According to Maria Montessori, children are in the sensitive periods for concentration, coordination, order, and independence between the ages of 3 and 6. In Montessori classrooms, promoting freedom of expression and language development is extremely important. For THE COLOR OF PEACE, the children brainstormed and voted on topic and title. Then we began discussing the layout of the book. Witnessing their ideas explode from the thought process, to oral expression, then to becoming a reality as it transferred on paper was outstanding! This collaborative, innovative, and independent cultural project showcased the essence of Montessori’s legacy. So, as you read this book, allow yourself the opportunity to view the words and pictures through the eyes of children as they present their thoughts and feelings to you. The children found confidence, joy, peace, and laughter in this experience … and so did I! Respect them for who they are in this given moment, as young artists.
