When I was entering the seventh grade, the principal assigned a book for summer reading—Great Peacemakers. I never thought I would enjoy summer reading so much! Now, I am beginning my career as a middle school teacher. When asked what books I would read with my class, Great Peacemakers popped up. Educators all around the world are teaching this book to young people, and it’s working! My students are loving learning about these peacemakers, and I hope one day they will become great peacemakers of the next generation.
