Writer's picture: Houston MennoniteHouston Mennonite

Former HMC member Reverend Teresa Kim Pecinovsky, author of Mother God, has a new children's book coming out in April of 2025.


The book is inspired by the work of RAWtools, an organization that works to forge peace by literally beating guns into garden tools.


Children grow up with lockdowns and gun violence as part of their reality. As parents, caregivers, and educators, how should we respond? Sparking Peace provides a springboard for those seeking to discuss gun violence and trauma with children in a safe way that highlights help rather than harm. This picture book helps children learn about conflict while also carefully addressing gun violence and peacemaking. It includes resources that equip parents and educators to talk about gun violence and trauma, using a story of a broken window to show kids how conflict can be transformed through acts of peace. Recommended for children ages 5-9.
