“McNally Jackson in NYC is one of my favorite bookshops. If you're interested in translations it's a great place to browse for new authors. On my last visit, inspired by Yoka Ogawo's Revenge, I headed straight for the Japanese shelf. What I discovered was a sweet little book by a publisher I'd never heard of: One Peace Books.”

“Having recently discovered Fred Van Lente's excellent Action Philosophers series, I'm already sold on the idea that, when it comes to complex ideas, comics can make a fine preparatory point for those of us who've come to expect pictures with our words. Ian Flitcroft and Britt Spencer's Journey By Starlight: A Time Traveler's Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything applies a similar approach to quantum physics, taking readers through the life, mind and theories of Albert Einstein.”

“In an intricate and detailed comic, Albert Einstein is recruited to tell the story of the makings of the universe, in just a little over 200 pages. Einstein zooms through the cosmos, filling in his nameless travel companion on not only how the universe works, but also about the people behind the theories and ideas that helped move society past fear and superstition of the sciences.”

One universal concern of childhood is thoughts of the future. Children all wonder if they will grow up to be what they wish and hope for. In this unique photographic journey around the globe, author Takashi Owaki interviews children about their dreams for their lives.
Visiting Mexico, Russia, China, and Finland, as well as nine other countries, Owaki asks children what they want to be when they grow up. Their answers are surprising and refreshing, and often express the cultural values they live with. Their world is photographed, and a snippet of their daily activities is also included.
Children delight in learning about different cultures. When sharing on a topic dear to their hearts, they enjoy the experience even more. Dreams Around the World will captivate children as they explore new worlds through others' dreams.

“Let me say first off, that this book is full of really good writing. I think that it will appeal to people who like very detailed writing where you can picture perfectly what's going on. A couple of the stories sort of reminded me of a screenplay where there was a strong focus on the various events of the story. ”

One Peace Manga Classic Readers
Not to be confused with the wildly popular One Piece manga, these titles, including ¡ÈDon Quixote¡É and ¡ÈThe War of the Worlds¡É are translations of Japanese adaptations. The editor Robert McGuire thinks of them as gateway drugs. Barreling through Moby-Dick, my son was struck by Mr. Stubbs's explanation to Ishmael, ¡ÈYou don't laugh ¡Æcuz it's fun to! Things are fun because you're laughing.¡É If Melville isn't spinning in the grave yet, wait until he hears Milo's verdict that ¡Èit doesn't need to be as long as the real Moby- Dick is because a picture says 1,000 words.¡É Tis the price of lasting celebrity in the age of PlayStation and YouTube.
