The refrain of \"peace on earth, good-will to men!\" is juxtaposed with references to global and interpersonal conflict that are as relevant today as they were to the author's original Civil War-era setting. The digital illustrations are similar in style to the work of Christian Robinson, with flat coloring in warm, inviting tones. Like the text, they have a timeless quality, reflecting the poem's message of hope.-- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmy Reimann\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Wadsworth Longfellow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was one of the most popular American poets of the 19th century.
