Chapel Allerton: Our Rights!

Stories and poems from a galaxy of authors and poets, highlighting a range of children's rights from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, including: the right to life, survival and development, the right to protection from violence, abuse and neglect, the right to education, to reach full potential and more. Jake Hope, a leading authority on contemporary children's literature, has chosen stories from Cathy Cassidy, Maisie Chan, Joseph Coelho, AM Dassu, Elizabeth Laird; and poems from Valerie Bloom, Sita Brahmachari, Dom Conlon, Benjamin Zephaniah and others. The illustrators are graduates from the Pop-Up Pathways project, a national initiative sponsored by the Arts Council, that develops emerging illustrators from under-represented groups.
