The Peaskeepers is more than a children's picture book.
It is an experiment, our way of giving back, and a dream come true.
We wanted to create a book that unites children from every corner of the world. A book that can be read from left to right and from right to left. A book without text. A book with important messages. A book that opens up a world of possibilities.
We invited a team of talented international artists on an unprecedented journey to co-create this story, develop the characters, and combine their artistic styles to produce a one-of-a-kind book about peace for children and adults to enjoy.
These wonderful talents are: Alberto Chuqui from Venezuela/Spain/Germany, Candiss Diamondis from Zimbabwe, Daniela-Karin Nela Raffl from Austria/Switzerland, Hsiao Mei Chen from Taiwan and Ramy Alyass from Sudan.
By embracing diversity in the team, we've learned from each other, inspired one another, and grown, together.
Our journey is as extraordinary as the ones the peas take in the book.
Peace can be observed in everyday life.
Our peas go on a journey to discover different places in the world. Just like in real life, they face struggles, joy, disagreement, success, danger, and love. Look for the emotions on the peas in the book! Their expressions reflect the presence or absence of peace. Let us be mindful and appreciate it when it is there. Can you find the word peace in different languages hidden in the pages?
The book is produced so you can read it in any direction you choose. There are no rules, just follow your own path. You can start in the middle if you like! Because the story is unbounded by language, you can choose any language you wish and whichever words you want. Because the book uses no text, you can use your imagination to explore as the story unfolds. Be free!
Let us dream up various adventures for the peas and the animals they meet. Each time will be different. None the same.
This is the true magic of our Peaskeepers - fostering awareness, mindfulness, respectfulness, and equity in the world. A world of peace created by all of us.
