With illustrations by many well-known artists including Jerry Pinkney, Rachel Isadora, Babette Cole, Ken Wilson-Max, and Satoshi Kitamura, this book adapts into simpler language some fourteen selected "rights" from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The illustrations are eclectic, and the adaptations sometimes leave the original intent unclear, but the book as a whole makes a strong statement.
