A stunningly illustrated and essential volume on children's rights- an introduction for kids and a reminder for adults.
I have the right to have a name and a nationality.
I have the right to the best healthcare.
I have the right to an education.
I have the right to a home where I can thrive.
With poetic text and exceptional art, internationally acclaimed Iranian illustrator Reza Dalvand introduces children to the universal rights they are entitled to under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Adopted in 1989 and ratified by 190 countries, the convention promises to defend the rights of children and to keep them safe, respected, and valued. Dalvand's stunning illustrations speak to children all around the world, some of whose rights are often challenged and must be protected every day.
The afterword, by renowned paediatrician Dr Catherine Gueguen, links these rights to the fundamental building blocks of a stable, safe, and fulfilling life.

Praise for Mrs Bibi's Elephant:
"Reza Dalvand's book is a stunning work of remarkable colour and verve which feels fresh, stylish and sophisticated." -- BookTrust
"Introduces children to the concepts of diverse perspectives, social acceptance, and communal harmony." -- School Library Journal
"Reza Dalvand's gentle fable is verification of the importance of companionship and love. His illustrations are an absolute delight. With elaborate patterns adorning clothing, furnishings, and townscapes, every spread offers a wealth of detail to feast the eyes on. Artwork done with love for a tale of love." -- Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub
Praise for What Could That Be?:
"In a parable both timely and ageless, a mysterious item on the forest floor excites ominous imaginings in all who come upon it. Iranian author/illustrator Dalvand depicts trees and figures in shimmering, almost luminescent colours to make the item, a small black lump, look all the more enigmatic ... a simple play on a provocative notion, with art in pleasingly vivid hues." -- Kirkus Reviews
