I like the idea of this book but have a problem with its failure to deal with children's participation rights - bored as all get out with the focus on protection and provision - these rights are meaningless unless we see them as offering children a way to be active agents of their own lives!

Each page is from a different illustrator!
Beautiful, love the different illustrators.
Great Book.
