Colors of Love and Peace - Our Peace Mural on the Book Cover

Create Now is honored that our Peace Mural at 186th Street Elementary School in Gardena, has been featured as the cover of a new book called "Colors of Love and Peace," to be given to hospitalized children all over the world.

The Foreword is written by the Dalai Lama. Congresswoman Maxine Waters is going to hand-deliver a box of books to the White House for President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to share with a children's hospital in Washington, D.C. We're very proud to have contributed to this project! Be sure to watch this brief video about this meaningful Peace Mural.
