Here's what one reader had to say about this bookAna T: The illustrations are full of vibrant, bright colors that recall us of the joyful days of Summer and happy kids drawings. By reading this book, children will have greater confidence in their ability to change the world through the magic of their imagination and creativity. As a librarian in a library specialized in children's rights, reading this story reminded me immediately of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 13: "1. The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; This right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child's choice".
