Review Quotes
In a world that far too frequently discounts children and their experiences, Dr. Fosarelli instead invites them to wonder and question, taking their concerns and hopes seriously. Her acknowledgement of their sacred worth and their full humanity is a witness to us all.
With questions about God ranging from amusing to thought-provoking, Why Can't There be Peace in the World? is both a window into the minds of children and a guide to open-hearted communication. The strength of the book lies in its honesty and humility: it models a willingness to meet children and adolescents where they are, to listen attentively and without judgment, to be a companion in wondering, and to admit, 'I don't know.'
