We Are All Born Free

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is told in a picture book format that would appeal to all children. All of the 30 Articles are illustrated by a variety of artists. One of my favourite illustrators is Korky Paul, you might remember his illustrations in the stories about Winnie the Witch.

Just showing children the illustrations would promote indepth discussion. The illustrations almost tell a story within the right and would definitely make children think. For instance, to illustrate 'nobody has any right to make us a slave,' Korky Paul has drawn a large clown shackled up in chains.  On top of the clown, with his whip in one hand and chains in the other rides the all and mighty king.

Out next theme deals with prejudice and human rights. I can't wait to read this to my class!
