Praise for Peace, Locomotion

"Moving, thought-provoking, and brilliantly executed, this is the rare sequel that lives up to the promise of its predecessor. Serving as bookends to the body of the text are two poems in which Lonnie describes peace in everyday terms. In his words, 'Peace is the good stuff/That happens to all of us/Sometimes.'" — School Library Journal
