Make Someone Smile: And 40 More Ways to Be a Peaceful Person

Judy Lalli. Free Spirit Publishing, $9.95 (80pp) ISBN 978-0-915793-99-0

Sing! Dance! Dream! No, these aren't steps to follow in putting on a show, but some of the directives in Make Someone Smile: And 40 More Ways to Be a Peaceful Person by Judy Lalli, photographs by Douglas Mason-Fry. Simple statements are teamed with black-and-white photos to demonstrate the benefits of negotiating and cooperating, rather than fighting. ""Compromise"" is a pizza with three different, separate toppings; ""Forgive"" shows a girl with her arm around a classmate who broke a record album. (Free Spirit, $8.95 paper, 80p ISBN 0-915793-99-7, Jan.)
