Books The primary PeaceDiviners™ product is the Whoooshhh!™ series of children’s books (also referred to as the STOP!™ series). The Whoooshhh!™ series began with Stop! Don’t Eat Me, written by PeaceDiviners™ founder Penny Poole’s daughter Naomi, who was a senior in high school at the time. This became the model for the series. The books are designed to be read to or by 7-11 year olds, but adults enjoy them too. They were created as educational tools to help teachers and parents convey important ideas such as global harmony, inequities, environmental issues, as well as choices that can help solve serious global problems. In addition to raising awareness of the world’s troubles, they end with hopeful solutions and reinforce the message that one person — even a child— can make a difference. The magical approach helps kids accept the difficult issues presented such as hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation. Each book ends with a positive call to action and the reinforced message that even one person can make a difference. The books are also designed to raise awareness among teachers and parents, who can work with their children to further research or find ways to contribute to the solutions. Ten-year-old Bobby gets the surprise of his life when his Whoooshhh!™ chocolate bar comes to life in his hands. Meet Jonathon O’Harvey, holder of the secret and magical “chocolate time travel” that takes Bobby to visit a chocolate factory, to an ancient Aztec community, to a cocoa farm in South America, and to a fair trade chocolate and coffee shop in London. ::::: Download free PDF of Don't Eat Me :
