Sometimes we don't agree with reviews and sometimes we think that reviewers really focus on negative criticism. How too often do you hear that “comic book” guy/gal who constantly rips on everything?
But, anyway, that besides the point. Here at One Peace we still feel everyones opinion is valid and should be shared. No matter what.
Here is one.
“Looking at Dreams Around the World through the eyes of children readers, it is a fun, easy-to-relate-to look at the lives of children from other cultures that is sure to reveal something about their own lives as well.”
-Wrapped in Foil

John at Animenation is one of the best and most thorough reviewers in the biz! He let's you have it straight. We always take his reviews to heart. You can read his review of the Bible below!
“Fans of atypical manga should certainly add The Bible to their library to compliment One Peace Books' growing catalog of unusual, exceptional English translations of Japanese manga.”

Sequential Ink was kind enough to share their review of one of our latest releases, The Bible.
“…a nice, all ages, accessible version to supplement and perhaps even help encourage interest in Christianity in younger people already inclined in that direction.”

Yoga International gave Save the Himalayas a pretty nice write up in their latest summer issue.
“Fujita's vibrant artwork brings the Tibetan landscape to life, and her story, written in Tibetan, English, and Japanese, helps children everywhere see the small steps they can take to protect the Earth's precious resources. Save the Himalayas, with forewords by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Richard Gere, is a touching and inspiring book for children, young and old.”

Over the course of three years, the photographer Owaki Takashi traveled to fifty-five countries on six different continents. During his travels, he met 1,460 children and asked them the same question: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Of course, he heard a lot of different answers! Dreams Around the World introduces readers to 13 of these children who share their dreams for the future, as well as a day in their lives. From Finland to Argentina, Mexico to China, these girls and boys dream about becoming doctors, jockeys, and even kung-fu masters. Full-color photographs, flags, and maps accompany the stories of the children, letting readers participate in a unique cultural experience. In the end, readers will discover that despite being from very different places, they all have at least one thing in common: DREAMS!
