We loved the positive messages being sent out in each of these stories and the fact that the book is empowering children. This is a book that I think will be loved by children of all ages (reading these aloud to younger children will help them to understand the messages from an early age).These stories are inspired by The UN Convention on the Rights of The Child and present some remarkable efforts by young writers from across the globe.
