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. Many children in the world do not have these rights, either due to war, famine, training as child soldiers or as refugees fleeing their homes. Fourteen rights are highlighted in the book with an illustration by an international artist.

A Mother's Earth
This award-winning series, produced in Cree, English and French, uses stop-motion animation to portray life in a fictional northern Saskatchewan community. It focuses on issues and events in the lives of children and their supportive families in this traditional Cree community. The adults guide the children to retain their traditional culture and values while living in the modern world. In this episode, six year old Raven must write a report on identity, describing who she thinks she is. Through talking to many people in the community, 10-year-old Talon reconciles her Cree-Metis identity as a daughter and sister. Cousin T-Bear and brother Talon are asked to help create a sweat lodge and through their hard work they earn their Indian names. Non-Aboriginal students viewing this film will gain a better understanding of Aboriginal identity and traditional practices. T-Bone's father's role at the band office provides a glimpse into First Nations governance and its complex issues.

Sticks and Stones
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.
