Peace Is a Chain Reaction: How World War II Japanese Balloon Bombs Brought People of Two Nations Together by Tanya Lee Stone

Interior & jacket design for middle-grade nonfiction title


The layout of PEACE IS A CHAIN REACTION emphasizes the multiple perspectives of Tanya Lee Stone’s text by including different chapter designs for the intimate biographical stories and those about the larger global context. The multi-faceted text required a complicated and flexible design to accommodate running addenda, sidebars, archival photos and captions, as well as spot art and maps. The final book design complements Tanya Lee Stone’s companion title, COURAGE HAS NO COLOR, while still standing on its own as a fascinating read.
