Our Books Are Traveling!: In conjunction with Bookcrossing.com, TeachPeaceNow is releasing great books "into the wild" for teachers and parents to find and share. Check out Books in the Wild to see where the books have been released. Check out Great Books if you have found a book and are looking for great questions and activities to use with your "Find."
*Most traveled book so far: Sister Anne's Hands
