Children's Books Empower Kids to Demand Their Human Rights Worldwide
Children's literature can help kids understand and respect their rights and the rights of others. International and domestic laws say that kids have rights. Research shows that when kids learn about rights, they feel better about themselves and treat others well. The Convention on the Rights of the Child says that kids' rights should be known to everyone. This book looks at different rights kids have, like family rights and the right to be heard, and how these rights are shown in books like Peter Rabbit and Harry Potter. By looking at over 500 children's books, the book shows how literature can teach kids about human rights. To fully understand their rights, kids need to imagine them first.
