"Wait a second, guys," Ali exclaimed. "I think there already is a United Nations Day for peace on earth..."

"You're right, Ali!" Maria laughed. "I remember when we went on a tour of the United Nations, we heard about The International Day of Peace. I think it's in the fall..."

"September 21!" Ali shouted. "Exactly! They've had the International Day of Peace for years, and lots of wonderful people have done lots of amazing things on that day over the years, but not many people have really even heard about it..."

"What if we get kids all around the world to help make this September 21 the biggest Peace Day ever!" Wei-Ling suggested.

"Let's do it!" everyone declared.
