Every child, from every walk of life, deserves to grow up in an inclusive world.

Global Friends for Peace works toward SDG 4: Inclusive Education for All, helping young readers understand themselves, their communities, and the beautiful diversity around them.

Global Friends for Peace is a children’s book series created to help young readers learn what peace looks like in everyday moments. Through simple stories, heartfelt emotions, and globally inspired characters, children discover how to understand their feelings, resolve small conflicts, and treat others with kindness.

Each book is rooted in peace and conflict resolution principles and supports the early social and emotional learning skills children need to thrive and develop into thoughtful, compassionate leaders.

A new story is on its way.

Book One, Shine from Within, weaves together themes of friendship, identity, and early anti-bullying skills, helping children understand how peace begins with the choices they make each day.

This series helps children build peace centered skills that strengthen their relationships, confidence, and sense of belonging.

• Understanding and naming emotions
• Building friendships across differences
• Peaceful problem solving and early conflict resolution
• Confidence in their identity and inner worth
• Choosing kindness in everyday moments

These learning elements support social and emotional development and align with SDG 4: Quality Education, helping children grow into thoughtful and compassionate young leaders.
