"“1.All humans are born free with the same dignity and rights. / 2. Everyone has the same rights.…” Here each of the 30 principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been restated in simple language and set among both striking photographs—mostly of children or family groups—and brief, poetic comments from the 16 young winners of an international writing contest sponsored by the online community ePals. Opening with a provocative introduction by rights advocate Mary Robinson and closing with the original document’s full text, this commemoration of the Declaration’s 60th anniversary joins We Are All Born Free: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Pictures (10/08) in providing pointed reminders, both verbal and visual, that the work of bringing equal human rights to all is not yet done—anywhere in the world. Where the earlier work is illustrated by a pantheon of artists and included a fair degree of whimsy, this effort is solemn—each is effective in its own way, though this may work better with an older audience.

Will definitely use this for my introduction to the UN Declaration of Human Rights unit.

Great book that teaches human rights. Great photographs and poetry in each page.

"Combines photographs with poetry to offer an overview of the thirty rights granted to all people by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

I can honestly say this is the first time I've read the entire Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I loved this student-friendly version, the powerful photographs, passionate poetry (written by students from epals) and the global examples being shared. I found the use of font and numbered rights would make it easy for students to follow and understand the main points of each right. ( )
