The Big Book of Rights is an inspiring resource created to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Designed to educate children and raise awareness of their rights, this vibrant and engaging book draws on consultation with more than 200 Queensland children, bringing their voices and ideas to life through a relatable and meaningful narrative.
Written by Dannika Patterson and illustrated by Amanda Letcher, The Big Book of Rights celebrates the rights of every child. With colourful illustrations and child-friendly language, it presents the 54 rights of the child in a way that is accessible, engaging, and easy for young readers to understand. More than just an educational tool, the book empowers children to recognise and value their rights.
This essential resource supports meaningful conversations about children’s rights among families, educators, and communities. It also features the TypeRights font, created from letters and numbers inspired by the designs of Queensland children, adding a unique and authentic element to the book.
