A stunningly illustrated and essential volume on children's rights:
an introduction for kids and a reminder for adults. I have the
right to have a name and a nationality. I have the right to the
best healthcare. I have the right to an education. I have the right
to a home where I can thrive. With poetic text and exceptional art,
internationally acclaimed Iranan illustrator Reza Dalvand
introduces children to the universal rights they are entitled to
under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Adopted in 1989 and ratified by 190 countries, the convention
promises to defend the rights of children and to keep them safe,
respected, and valued. Dalvand's stunning illustrations speak to
children all around the world, some of whose rights are often
challenged and must be protected every day. The afterword, by
renowned paediatrician Dr Catherine Gueguen, links these rights to
the fundamental building blocks of a stable, safe, and fulfilling
life.
When Mrs Bibi is told her pet elephant has to go, she reluctantly
packs her bags and heads off somewhere where they can live together
in happiness. But what they both leave behind is far bigger than
the other people in the town could have ever imagined. Delicate
artwork compliments messages of acceptance, tolerance, and love in
this moving story.
Tender and contemplative, this volume is an apt ode to the process
of welcoming any lovingly awaited child. ~Publishers Weekly We had
waited for you for so long. We did not know when you would come. We
did not know what your name was, or if your eyes were brown or
blue. One day, finally, you arrived. A unique and tender story to
about the adoption process and the arrival of a long-awaited child.
By Dolores Brown and Reza Dalvand.
