The OISE Library is excited to announce that Dustin Milligan, lawyer and author of The Children’s Charter series, will be speaking April 2nd at 4:30pm on the Ground Floor of the Library.
The Children’s Charter series is designed to introduce children to the Canadian Charter of Rights. Each book features a different Canadian province and addresses a part of the Charter. Dustin wrote these books with children in mind as vulnerable members of Canadian society, and hoped to empower children at a young age. Books in his series include The Golden Hook: The Right to Believe and Have Faith, A Portrait of a the Artist as a Young Lobster: The Right to Speak, Sing and Laugh, and The Case of the Missing Montreal Bagel: The Right to Privacy and Security (pictured). Each book includes notes for teachers and parents, as well as suggested questions for children.
All of this makes The Charter of Rights series a great way to teach your students how to use their voice and make sure it is heard in Canadian society!
We hope that you will join us for this exciting talk, reading, Q&A, sale and signing with Dustin Milligan.
