An absorbing book which in the age-old tradition of story telling, gets the point over to its young readers that not everyone in the world has the freedom they treat so lightly ~Newbury Weekly News

Containing truly outstanding contributions from Morpurgo, Rita Williams-Garcia
and Margaret Mahy, the collection delivers tales that leave the reader, as Mahy
puts it, ‘with heads that spin inside with the surprise of life and the thrill
of words that jostled and danced freely – no matter what country you happened to
live in.
~INIS

Frequently thought-provoking, these stories adeptly highlight the universal importance of human rights. ~Publisher's Weekly
