i'm a child i have rights

Do you know what rights you have as a child?

Author Alain Serres, with poetic words, and illustrator Aurélia Fronty, with vibrant pictures, succinctly interpret the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989 (and signed by 196 countries). It explains, in a way children can understand, what rights are: the right to food and shelter, the right to go to school, the right to be free from violence, the right to breathe clean air, and so on.

Moreover, these rights belong to every child on Earth, regardless of their skin color, whether they are tall or short, poor or rich...

Knowing and talking about these rights is the first step toward respecting children's rights. So, let's start by reading this picture book with your child!
