Every Child Has a Voice
A Children’s Story About Speaking Up, Kindness, and Making a Difference
Shu Chen Hou
Before the sun rises, a whisper travels around the world. In a Kenyan village, Amina wakes early to help her little brother learn, and spends her afternoons gathering books and teaching younger children to read. In Ireland, Liam finds plastic in his favourite river and rallies his friends to clean the banks and plant flowers to welcome the birds back. In Brazil, Sofia sits beneath a giant tree and turns an argument between classmates into understanding — because she knows that listening is a gift. In South Korea, Jin builds robots and apps that help his neighbours, believing technology must serve people, not just entertain them. When Jin creates an app called Voices, children around the world begin sharing stories, starting projects, and asking for help. Anaya, in India, uses it to speak up about fairness at school — and together the five friends show what happens when children use their voices, one by one and together. Every Child Has a Voice is a warm, globe-spanning children's picture book that celebrates children's rights, civic courage, and the power of community action. With vivid 3D illustrations and five unforgettable characters from Kenya, Ireland, Brazil, South Korea, and India, it shows young readers aged 5–12 that a voice can be a question, a song, a request, or a story — and that together, those voices make a louder, kinder sound. Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and family read-alouds. An ideal companion to lessons on citizenship, global awareness, empathy, and children's rights. Ideal for ages 5–12.

The Voice of a Child
Candy Rentz
The Voice of a Child was written because God asked me to tell my story. He wanted me to help others understand that bad things do happen to children, or people, in general; but God is always there, even in times of darkness and struggle. This book was written only to guide those who feel there is no way out, those who may have no hope left, or those that simply feel all alone. My story is based on real events in my life and it took me a very long time to write them on paper. The loneliness, emptiness, shame, anger, and hurt ruled a major part of my life until I made a firm decision to change the outcome of my future. There are some aspects of my life that I have chosen to leave out due to the graphic nature of the abuse I incurred as a child. I have left out those details for the safety of little eyes and curious hearts that may pick up this book to read it. The process for my healing is long and very painful but much needed in order for me to move on to the abundant life God has waiting for me.I want to encourage everyone who chooses to grab this book. I pray that whatever struggles, hardships, or abuses you may have suffered, the God of grace, love, and mercy would show Himself to you. He is your Healer, Comforter, Restorer, and Refuge throughout your healing process. I pray that God will put the right Spirit-filled people in your life to help you on your journey to restoration. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
Did You Hear That?
Help for Children Who Hear Voices
Seetha Subbiah
Did You Hear That? Help for Children Who Hear Voices is about five very different children who share one thing in common — hearing voices and seeing things that are not there. Susie is a 9-year-old who keeps her challenges with auditory and visual hallucinations a secret until a teacher alerts her parents of her difficulties at school. With compassion, empathy, love and understanding, Susie's parents encourage her to see a counselor. Susie builds trust and rapport with her counselor, which finally allows her to share her well-guarded secret. After divulging what has been troubling her for years, with her counselor's help, she discovers that she is not the only one in the world who struggles with voices. Susie then introduces readers to four other children of different ethnicities, ages, backgrounds, talents and interests who also hear voices. All of the children share with readers their challenges with voices and personal life circumstances that contributed to them hearing voices. Then they go on to speak about their personal choices regarding what role they want voices to have in their lives and how counselors helped them achieve their individual goals. Did You Hear That? is a beautifully illustrated practical therapeutic storybook for psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health practitioners treating children with auditory and visual hallucinations. While it normalizes the experience and assists children in seeking professional help, it is also an easy to understand and user-friendly guide for concerned parents, teachers, pediatricians and allied health professionals.
Children’s Voices, Family Disputes and Child-Inclusive Mediation
The Right to Be Heard
Anne Barlow, Jan Ewing
ePDF and ePUB available open access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Recent legislative changes in England and Wales have eroded children’s ability to exercise their article 12 UNCRC rights to information, consultation and representation when parents separate. However, children’s voices may be heard through child-inclusive mediation (CIM). Considered from a children’s rights perspective, this book provides a critical socio-legal account of CIM practice. It draws on in-depth interviews with relationship professionals, mediators, parents and children, to consider the experiences, risks and benefits of CIM. It investigates obstacles to greater uptake of CIM and its role in improving children’s wellbeing and agency. Exploring the culture and practice changes necessary for a more routine application of CIM, the book demonstrates how reconceptualising CIM through a children’s rights framework could help to address barriers and improve outcomes for children.

Rethinking Children's Rights
Attitudes in Contemporary Society
Phil Jones, Sue Welch
Rethinking Children's Rights explores attitudes towards and experiences of children's rights. Phil Jones and Sue Welch draw on a wide range of thought, research and practice from different fields and countries to debate, challenge and re-appraise long held beliefs, attitudes and ways of working and living with children. This second edition contains updated references to legislation and research underpinning children's rights, reflecting on recent scholarship and on the current world context. New research and examples are discussed around: - online protection and privacy - evaluating UK progress and the children's rights review by the United Nations - recent insights on the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) - new debates about the construction and development of children's rights - new debates about the relationships between social exclusion and children's rights Recent developments in the definition of rights are considered from a variety of perspectives and in relation to different arenas of children's lives. This second edition brings an increased focus on exploring the notion of disjunction between the rhetoric of policy and legislation and the enacted and perceived experiences of children's rights. Themes discussed include power relations between adults and children, the child's voice, intercultural perspectives, social justice, gender and disability. Examples of research, activities, interviews with researchers and guidance on further reading make this an essential text for those studying childhood.

Decebella and Her 6-Inch Voice, 2nd Edition
Julia Cook
Spunky, spirited Decibella loves to be loud. Maybe that’s why her name is Decibella? She shouts every time she answers a question, offers an opinion, shares a thought, or makes a request. It doesn’t matter if she’s sitting in a classroom, browsing for books in the library, ordering food in a restaurant, or watching a movie in the theater. Her voice volume is always on full blast. Decibella is so loud, she’s hurting ears, startling wait staff, disrupting classmates, and annoying moviegoers. She doesn’t realize different environments and situations sometimes demand a softer, quieter voice. That is until a caring teacher introduces her to the silly-sounding word “Slurpadoodle” and the five volumes of voice (Whisper, 6-inch, Table Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside). With a little practice, patience, and persistence, can Decibella become a voice volume expert? Or will her volume be permanently stuck on shout? A special page written specifically for parents and educators offers insightful and practical strategies to help children understand when and how to have a proper voice volume. Fans of the original story will find more inclusive, empathetic, and empowering dialogue and situations in this revised second edition!
