What They're Saying
Critics Review
“We can stand up for our rights once we understand them. This book is a guide for every child and young person who believes in liberty, equality and a better world for all” – Malala Yousafzai“Children are the future. This is the perfect book for young people who care about the world and want to make a difference” – Greta Thunberg“At once informative and practical, Know Your Rights is a dazzling, potent toolkit for justice and change” * LoveReading *“This is an excellent book! What I like most about it is that one can just keep dipping in, it doesn’t have to be read all at once and it is packed with information and deals with issues with which many teenagers will identify. It covers a very large field, it will educate, enlighten and encourage young people to take action, it will give them confidence and a sense of empowerment. It is a very important book which in time, hopefully, will help to change the world.” – Mala Tribich MBE, child survivor of the Holocaust“This is a must have for every school library… it informs and educates young people as well as being easy to read” * The School Librarian *
