Every September 21st, the world comes together in unison to celebrate the International Day of Peace—a precious moment when hearts and minds open to harmony. This coloring page is its gentle symbol: an outstretched hand, soft and protective, holding a white dove, the universal messenger of peace since ancient times. In its beak, it carries an olive branch—a timeless promise of hope and reconciliation that transcends ages and cultures. The image is a reminder of the fragility of peace: it must be built and protected, just like one would care for a bird resting in the palm of their hand.

As you color, you can give the dove a pure white or a soft pearly shade to reflect the light and purity of its message. The olive branch can be dressed in a tender spring green or a deep green, symbolizing strength and renewal. The hand can be shaded in natural tones—light, golden, copper, or dark—to remind us that peace belongs to everyone, without distinction. The background could be filled with a calming sky blue, a gentle pastel gradient, or even a golden light, like a sunrise announcing a better day.

This coloring page is an invitation to reflect: every gesture, every word can be a seed of peace planted in the garden of the world. By adding your colors, you take part, in your own way, in helping this ideal grow—an ideal that connects people and generations.
