"Our mothers and fathers will listen to us," said Ling.

"And our families, and our relatives," added Maya, who had many brothers and sisters and many more cousins, aunts and uncles.

"And other kids, they'll listen to us," said Ahmed. "After all, we speak the same language."

"But how will we do all this?" cried Jamal. "How can we create a day of peace?"

"We'll get on TV," replied Maya, "and we'll announce it on the radio."

"We'll write a letter to the President," added José.

"Maybe we should ask the United Nations," said Johnny. "Then the whole world would know about our idea of a worldwide day of peace. But what day should it be?"
