When children come into the world, they have the right to tenderness, to healthy food, to an open learning environment, to learn everything about life... But what good is all of that if they cannot enjoy a healthy planet? So, when the Earth is treated roughly, children have the right to say, "Stop!"
This book, starting from the "right to survival," one of the four fundamental children's rights in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, discusses children's right to enjoy nature and a sustainable ecology. They have the right to eat healthy, pesticide-free food, the right to breathe healthy, clean air, the right to be angry for animals losing their habitats, and even more, the right to roar at adults who constantly harm the Earth for profit!
The author uses straightforward language to describe the rightful relationship between children and nature. They have the right to enjoy the beauty of nature, and also the right to stand up and protest against adults who destroy the environment. Not only can child readers resonate with environmental protection through reading, but for adult readers, the questions raised in the book are also thought-provoking.
The greatest gift we can give our children is a sustainable future free from pollution. Every corner of this planet belongs to children, and we hope that people can care for the Earth, which belongs to children, just as they care for their own children.
