Review Quotes: "A transformative book . . . The author's clear prose, gripping stories, and delightful photographs bring complex ideas and rigorous interdisciplinary research to life. Woodhouse is a realist; she recognizes that we may have passed the tipping point. But she concludes what may turn out to be a grim story with concrete strategies, making a powerful and convincing case that 'universal human rights, far from being distant abstractions, can serve as a blueprint for preserving and protecting the small worlds of children.' A brilliant, deeply thoughtful, and important book, not just for academics and social scientists, but for anyone who cares about children or the planet."--Barbara J. Stark, author of Human Rights and Children
