Our Rights: How Kids are Changing the World

This engaging Canadian resource presents the stories of young people who have made a difference in their communities, countries, and around the world by defending the rights of children and youth. The book outlines the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and then focuses on ten youth, presenting each person’s story in one powerful, fact-filled page, accompanied by bright and colourful illustrations and photographs. A useful resource in Grade 3-8 classrooms to spark discussions about community and global citizenship, to provide inspiration or motivation to carry on or replicate one of the individual's experiences, and to use as a research tool or reference book.
