Tales from the Dragon’s Cave: Peacemaking Stories for Everyone

Description

Dragons do not sound like natural peacemakers, but then it seems that we’ve misunderstood dragons for a long time. They are gentle souls at heart, and who would know better about resolving problems than creatures who have been enmeshed in conflict since the beginning of myth?

In this fairy tale collection, dragons and other fantasy characters teach children nonviolent ways to solve problems. They guide the reader through “A Dragon’s Path to Peace,” building self-confidence, improving communication, encouraging cooperation, and using problem solving techniques to find the solution where everyone can be a winner.

This book was a Children’s Choices book for 2003 and has been enthusiastically reviewed by many national peace education/conflict resolution groups. It contains a foreword by the Co-Founder of the Creative Response to Conflict program in Nyack, New York. A resource list of conflict resolution organizations is included at the back of the book.
