Todres, Jonathan

Human rights in children's literature imagination and the narrative of law - London Oxford University Press 2015 - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

How can children grow to realize their inherent human rights and respect the rights of others? This book explores this question through children's literature from 'Peter Rabbit' to 'Horton Hears a Who!' to Harry Potter. The authors investigate children's rights under international law - identity and family rights, the right to be heard, the right to be free from discrimination, and other civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights - and consider the way in which those rights are embedded in children's literature.
