Camlot introduces a variety of incidents from wars throughout history where people chose kindness and peace instead. While formatted as a picture book, this is really a text heavy, topic heavy book for older students. Any class that touches on the decisions that lead to war or any of these wars in particular might want to read snippets from this. You will have to hand sell it though – especially to the teachers.
