After months of tension something appeared on the streets of Ferguson that hadn't been seen for a long time HOPE.  Through poetry and art, award wining PAINTING FOR PEACE IN FERGUSON tells the true story of hundreds of artists and volunteers who turned boarded up windows into works of art with messages of hope, healing and unity in the aftermath of the Ferguson, MO riots. Written in verse, the book focuses on the way the community came together to begin the healing process through the Paint for Peace effort. Using illustration and photographs of the art and the artists --black and white, young and old--the book is a tool for beginning the conversation with children about how we all have something to contribute to healing our communities. As the last line in the book says, The work is not finished, there's much more to be done. But this art shows the spirit of a new Ferguson.

Profits from book sales are being reinvested in the Ferguson community.
