In the children's picture book, Echoes from the Square by Elizabeth Wellburn and illustrated by Deryk Houston (Rubicon Publishing, 1998), a young boy is helped to cope with war by Vedran Smailovic's actions.
For adults, an article by Swati Chopra on the Life Positive e-magazine website provides more detail about Vedran Smailovic and the responses to his actions. An ACF Newsource article describes the projects Jason Crowe, a teen in Indiana, undertook, inspired by Vedran Smailovic.
