I Have the Right to Save My Planet
by Alain Serres

**Thank you to NetGalley, author Alain Serres, and House of Anansi Press Inc.: Groundwood Books for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.**
This is a children's book that shares an extremely powerful message. The message is that children have the right to speak up for their planet, their lives, and their futures. The book talks about the Convention on the Rights of Children and how, by signing this agreement, the majority of world leaders have declared "A child's best interests must always be respected. that matters more than anything else." This is such a valuable declaration that children should be taught and made sure to understand. This book's powerful message has the ability to inspiring children everywhere to stand up for their rights and the rights of our planet. The only thing I would have liked as an addition would be more illustrations that included children. I think visuals in children's books are so powerful, so having children represented as standing up for their rights and being taught how they can make their voices heard would be a great addition.
