After meeting with world leaders to discuss the UN International Day of Peace and campaigning to make it a day with a real purpose, young Jeremy Gilley succeeds in establishing a globally recognized date with a very unified message across nations for peace amongst people--even if it is just for one single day. BOMC. - Baker & Taylor
Documents the author's meetings with such world leaders as Kofi Annan, Amre Moussa, and the Dalai Lama to change the UN International Day of Peace from a variable date to a fixed day of cease-fire nonviolence on September 21. - Blackwell North Amer
Do you think one person can make a difference in the world? Many people believe the answer is no, but Jeremy Gilley proved the answer is yes.
Jeremy believed there should be a day dedicated to peace every year, a World Peace Day, and he made it happen. He traveled the globe, meeting with leaders such as Kofi Annan and His Holiness the Dalai Lama to get support for his idea. His enthusiasm and tireless efforts convinced the governments of the world to create a day of global cease-fire and nonviolence that falls on September 21 every year. More and more people participate each year, and Jeremy's story will make you think: What can I do for peace on September 21? - Penguin Putnam
One day, a lightbulb went off in Jeremy Gilley's head: there should be one day each year when the world stops fighting and celebrates peace. And he did much more than just think about it. He traveled the globe, meeting with leaders such as Kofi Annan, Amre Moussa, Shimon Peres, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Jeremy's enthusiasm and tireless efforts convinced the governments of the world to change the UN International Day of Peace from a day that moved each year and didn't actually require anyone to stop fighting into a cease-fire day of nonviolence that would fall on September 21 every year.
This amazing story touches on the causes of war, what would happen on a cease-fire day, ways to promote peace on September 21, and most important, how a single person can make a difference in the world.
