For Every Child: The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Words and Pictures
In the foreword, Desmond Tutu reminds us that all children have the right to be happy, to be healthy, to learn and to find security in adults that they can trust.

Fourteen rights are highlighted in the book with an illustration by an international artist.

Every Human Has Rights: A Photographic Declaration for Kids
Eleanor Roosevelt chaired a committee that determined rights for every citizen in every country. Since 1948, these rights declare that every human is entitled to freedom, fair government, freedom to come and go and to associate with others and the right to free expression.

The rights in the book are accompanied by photographs. Youth are encouraged to write a poem, short essay or paragraph describing what the right means to them. The book includes an index and the full Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Children in families who follow nontraditional gender roles are often the target of put-downs by their peers. In this documentary, young Canadian children, ages 5 to 12, discuss the problems they face and make it very clear that educators, parents, and other children need to act positively to make schools safe and welcoming places. As the Canadian Human Rights Commission indicates, "The effect of homophobia can be devastating." While this video shows the effects of homophobia, it also illustrates the loving and caring families that support these children.
The program won the Itinerant - National Council on Family Relations Award in 2002 and the 2003 Bronze Plaque Award at the International Film and Video Festival.
