kindness, peace, and love throughout their communities. Some good examples are:

 Peace is an Offering by Annette LeBox

 Magic Little Word by Angèle Delaunois

 Kiss by Jennifer Couelle

These books are available through the PEI Provincial Library Service. Be sure to check your local

library for new selections for Family Violence Prevention Week 2016.

2. Talk and create together: Read Beautiful Hands by Bret Baumgarten and talk with your children

about what they will do with their beautiful hands. Using Kathryn Otoshi’s illustrations as inspiration,

create some handprint art together.

3. Listen to and talk about the song These Hands by Dave Gunning and George Canyon. The song has

also been turned into a book illustrated by Meagan Smith. The book and the song teach children that

each of us can be a hero to other people.

4. Wear purple on February 17

th to support family violence prevention in PEI.

5. Plan a family project to raise money or provide supplies to an emergency shelter or service provider

that supports victims of family violence.

6. Educate yourself: Learn about family violence, its effects on children and youth and what you can do

as a neighbour, family member or friend. Learn more at stopfamilyviolence.pe.ca/friends.
