Based upon an earlier title for teenagers, Know Your Rights, this is aimed at readers of eight plus and every effort has been made to make complex and difficult issues understandable and relatable and to make the book engaging and inviting. Largely this is achieved through the excellent and lively illustrations by Sue Cheung and through a very clear layout and page design. The addition of little jokes and Not a Child Right boxes, which highlight some hilariously strange laws which still exist around the world, also add to the appeal.

Wisely, the book starts with advice to readers about what to do if ‘anything in the book makes them sad,’ since inevitably the explanation of some rights and then each section’s description of ‘What’s Really Happening?’ can cover potentially upsetting material. This is counterbalanced by the inclusion of real-life examples of children who have successfully campaigned for their rights and by the sections offering advice on staying safe, with a particularly useful section on staying safe online, and on standing up for your rights. The language is straightforward throughout and there is an excellent glossary of useful words, highlighted in the text, amongst a whole section labelled ‘Useful stuff’ including lists of organisations and websites.

An important and invaluable support for citizenship and PSHE that is eminently browsable and interesting.
