Commentaire descriptif

This book provides young readers with an important global perspective on children—and perhaps a new outlook on their own lives. Fourteen chapters cover themes such as “Are boys and girls treated equally?” and “Children on the move.” While the language is direct and child-friendly, there is plenty of content, suitable for confident readers. Global numbers and statistics are connected to real-life anecdotes. In “Children and work,” nine year-old Gabriel in Guatemala City is profiled: “Recently he found work at a fireworks factory, a dangerous job because of all the chemicals.” Relevant UN Convention Articles are highlighted: “If you work, you have the right to be safe and paid fairly. (Article 32)” A good half of each chapter is devoted to illustrations in warm colours and painterly textures. Both surreal and realistic compositions are used to depict topics: In Hong Kong, houseboats are packed in a harbour of stacked skyscrapers—all teetering on a round, Earth-like form; in Sierra Leone, a boy in ragged shorts curls up on a carpet—a massive gun lies at his side. Back material includes the Convention on the Rights of the Child, in child-friendly language, along with suggested activities.
