Empowering and fun

The subtitle of this book is "a book about children's rights". I think it's a marvellous idea for a book, and Fitch is just the right poet to write it. The copy I have is a large format hardcover, big but light, and has colourful watercolour illustrations. Each poem explains one of the rights in the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child, with anthropomorphized elephants and chimpanzees and beavers and so on, in language that's easy for kids to understand, and then at the end of the book there's a list of the rights and which poems go with which right.
