To commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Walker Books and Amnesty International have joined together to create a short-story collection for young adults, celebrating what it means to be free. Hosting a variety of talented children's authors from all around the globe, the anthology embraces such themes as asylum, law, education and faith in a way that will both inspire and entertain.
Authors include: Amnesty International, David Almond, Ibtisam Barakat, Malorie Blackman, Theresa Breslin, Eoin Colfer, Roddy Doyle, Ursula Dubosarsky, Jamila Gavin, Patricia McCormick, Margaret Mahy, Michael Morpurgo, Sarah Mussi, Meja Mwangi, Rita Williams-Garcia and Jacqueline Wilson.
Amnesty International UK Director Kate Allen says:
"Free? captures the issues which are encompassed in human rights, such as education, religion and freedom of speech, in a way that is easy to understand and entertaining for young people. We are extremely delighted and privileged that these exceptional authors have contributed to this anthology and we hope that all who read this book will be inspired to stand up for justice."
Former Children's Laureate, Jacqueline Wilson, has written the foreword to Free? and says:
"So many brave writers have drawn attention to the horrors of repressive regimes, even though they've suffered as a result. The authors contributing stories to this beautiful book have given us much food for thought. Life isn't fair but we can do our best to right the
wrongs."
For readers aged: 11+
