Illustrated by
Aurélia Fronty.
Each spread in this picture book begins with the line "I have the right . . ." Serres emphasizes that all children have the same freedoms, including the right to food, clean water, shelter, and a peaceful existence. Vivid colors in Fronty's naïve-style paintings enliven the sometimes ponderous text. A helpful author's note discusses the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
