In response to what two individuals are saying about myself and my books I would like to share with you what many others have said to balance out their unsubstantiated claims. * Awarded the Robert Burns Medal for literature by Austria's Albert Schweitzer Society, for "outstanding merits in the field of peace-promotion" * Selected by the International Association of Educators for World Peace for their Central American peace education project in Panama and El Salvador * Acclaimed at the Soviet Peace Fund Conference in Moscow and published in Russia by Moscow's Library of Foreign Literature and Magistr Publications * On permanent display at the International Museum of Peace and Solidarity in Samarkind, Uzbekistan, the Commonwealth of Independent States. * "Why is Everybody Always Picking on Us? explores the roots of prejudice.

These new books . . . are good for teachers and parents of elementary school children who need appropriate language and activities to help children deal with their feelings and the violence-provoking parts of the environment.
