For Every Child: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child by Caroline Castle - 0 views

  •  
    Caroline Castle, For Every Child: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (New York: UNICEF, 2001). Grade Level: K-3 Publisher Description: Fourteen of the rights that were formally laid out by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are highlighted. The book begins with an introduction by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who asks readers to help make a difference. One double-page spread is devoted to each featured tenet, which is illustrated by a different artist. Some of the pictures are bold and dramatic, while others are quiet and subdued. Some are whimsical and others are serious. All bring home the point. Each illustration covers almost the entire spread, with the text on a small strip of white at the bottom. The artists include John Burningham, Shirley Hughes, Rachel Isadora, Satoshi Kitamura, and Jerry Pinkney.
