This beautiful little book from Amnesty International and Chris Riddell seems very appropriate right now given all of the things which are going on around the world.
‘My Little Book of Big Freedoms’ is a simplified version of the Human Rights Act with fantastic illustrations which will help your child understand each point. Showing 16 different ‘freedoms’ including family, love, hope, mercy and knowledge, it highlights why our human rights are so important and why we all need to work together to protect them.
The format takes a heavy topic and makes it really accessible for children. For parents it offers a great introduction to human rights and I would imagine it’s also a very useful tool for primary school teachers. It’s definitely one that should feature in school libraries.
If this is a topic which interests you (either as a parent or a teacher), Amnesty has a great page of resources which can help you explore it further: https://www.amnesty.org.uk/fiction-and-human-rights
As a bonus, all royalties from the sale of the book go straight to Amnesty International.
