Resource Library
Our songs for children about peace and justice, resolving conflicts, and celebrating our global family are more important than ever in these troubled times. These Peace Resources are intended to help us all move forward with hope and tools for song and action as we work together to build a healthier, more peaceful world.

In addition to the songs, books and articles listed in these resource pages, we also recommend these Books for Children in Troubling Times.
CMN has a rich pool of singers and songwriters in our midst, and these listings are created as an ongoing "well" of song ideas for programs, classrooms and concerts in schools and other settings. The songs included here have either been written by Children's Music Network members or are songs from other songwriters that are recommended by a CMN member. It will be updated periodically, so check back often for new ideas! Whether or not you are a member of CMN, you are invited to submit song ideas by returning the forms listed below.
