Description:They drew pictures of Peace, Of Hope and of Light, That show Love’s even stronger, Than the darkest of nights are two of the child-friendly verses in the 48-page children’s book "Painting for Peace in Ferguson," written by author Carol Swartout Klein. The vivid images and artwork in the book tell the true story of hundreds of artists and residents of all ages who came together to create colorful images of hope and healing using the simplest of all tools — a paintbrush — with the plywood on windows on block after block of boarded up businesses as their canvases. The dozens of damaged businesses were located across several miles in Ferguson, Dellwood and South Grand in St. Louis City. The book, written in verse shows more than 160 images of art and mentions more than 300 artists and volunteers who participated in the Paint for Peace St. Louis effort.Klein, who grew up in Ferguson and still resides in St. Louis went back to her childhood neighborhood just days after destructive fires and riots to see how she could help. She witnessed hundreds of people of all ages and races spontaneously come and give up their Thanksgiving weekend to support their community still reeling and in shock. She was so moved by the selfless spirit of the volunteers and the compelling and inspiring art that she wanted to do her part as well. Her idea was to capture the positive moment of hope and community healing so she put pen to paper and Painting for Peace in Ferguson is the result. Centered on a child-friendly poem penned by Klein, the book does not go into the specifics of what caused the unrest, but rather focuses on the way the community came together to begin the healing process through the art of the Paint for Peace effort. Painting for Peace in Ferguson shares the basic idea that anyone, at any age has a talent that they can contribute to help others even when things seem to be at their worst.
