Children in Our World: Rights and Equality

The Children in Our World picture book series helps children make sense of the larger issues and crises that dominate the news in a sensitive and appropriate manner. With relatable comparisons, carefully researched text and striking illustrations, children can begin to understand issues in the news, how they affect people and how readers can help those who are affected. Rights and Equality looks at the topic of human rights and considers some of the different rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights such as the right to good health and to go to school, and the ways in which people fight for equality.

Where issues aren’t appropriate to describe in words, Hanane Kai’s striking and sensitive illustrations help children visualise the issues with images that are suited to their age.
