My Language Rights explores the importance of language in shaping who we are and where we come from. More than just a means of communication, language holds our stories, memories and culture — and this book celebrates every child’s right to speak, learn and grow in their own language.
Inspired by PEN International’s Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights, it offers a warm and accessible introduction to the idea that language rights are human rights. With full-colour illustrations and simple text, it’s a meaningful resource for families, classrooms and community spaces alike.
