In this whimsical, but very wise book, “Mom Wombat Says Make War No More!”, children and readers of all ages are reminded that there are many positive ways to act -not just react - to difficult life situations. Phyllis Schwartz shows readers they can choose how they respond to unfairness and conflict with creative responses. As a child therapist and mother who has worked with elementary and high school peer anti-bullying programs, this book is a welcome addition for homes, school classrooms and libraries. Children who learn early to express empathy and emotional flexibility are shown to be more able to develop good relationships and social confidence. We are all empowered by choosing to respond to life’s inevitable moments of anger, hurt and disappointment with more kindness and shared solutions.
