i'm a kid i have something to say

　　"No matter who my parents are, no matter my nationality or skin color, all children are everyone's precious treasures,
　　and should receive the love and respect of every person on Earth. My language, my religious beliefs, my culture,
　　and whether I come from poverty or wealth, whether I am a boy or a girl, we all possess the same rights." - Excerpt from pages 4-5 of the text

　　The National Human Rights Museum, in collaboration with Yushan She / Xingyue Bookstore, invited Ms. Lin Chen-Mei, a significant proponent of Taiwanese children's literature, to write the text. She has compiled and extracted the key concepts of the Convention on the Rights of the Child for readers. Additionally, sixteen outstanding Taiwanese picture book creators have joined forces to speak out and advocate for children, for instance: children have the right to privacy, the right to education, and the right to express themselves; we should strive to maintain children's health and self-esteem; and everyone has a responsibility to protect children caught in war, children who have lost their families, and so on.

　　The text of "I Am a Child, I Have a Say" is adapted from the Convention on the Rights of the Child, making it simple, direct, and powerful. The illustrators have created diverse and richly detailed images based on the text. The entire book combines graphical artistry with textual rhythm, encouraging children to use the power of imagination to open their senses, perceive the meaning of the text and images, and further understand and discuss the meaning and value embedded in "children's rights."

　　"I Am a Child, I Have a Say" is not just a declaration; it is a principle worth implementing in daily life. We hope that reading this book will inspire children to realize how unique and important their existence is, and prompt the public to seriously consider their daily interactions with children, attempting to change existing concepts so that children are no longer limited to being "care recipients," but rather become true "rights holders."
