declaration, the collection leads readers through each of its 30
articles, the full resonance of which is beautifully realised by
the accompanying illustrations. Children and adults will recognise
the work of their favourite artists and discover new ones as they
gain valuable and long-lasting insight into the rights that 'belong
to everyone, whatever our differences.' With the unique styles of
Axel Scheffler, Peter Sis, Satoshi Kitamura, Alan Lee, Polly
Dunbar, Jackie Morris, Debi Gliori, Chris Riddell and many more,
