This is a very good book about human rights. It refers to the thirty articles of fundamental human rights for everyone. It contains various stories from different places and cultures that show how these rights can be abused and, sometimes, the hatred that led to the abuses overcome.
There are stories dealing with slavery of children in sweat shops, a story about Katrina and how nasty the police and military were to the people, a story about a man who was a conscientious objector in World War II and a group of young boys that set fire to his hedge, and an incredibly hilarious story about a boy from Ghana who ends up getting to the Crown Jewels in England, overcomes all the advanced security, and does this only by using his marbles.
Literally.
There's also a wonderful story about the Palestinian/Israel border and a young boy who wants peace.
Definitely a good book to read.
