The Right to Be Considered No Matter How Old You Are
Buchbeschreibung
Although not yet ripe, Alexander is mature beyond his years. He dreams of the exciting things that await him when he is older – like becoming a bottle of grape juice and travelling to far off lands! With an election underway, he becomes immersed in local politics— campaigning to lower the age necessary to become grape juice. Will the grapes in the vineyard listen to a young grape of only 9 years of age (or 9 and a quarter as he suggests)?
This story seeks to teach children about the right to equal treatment and freedom from discrimination on the basis of age. This right protects a variety of persons—children, youth, adults, and the elderly—from unfair treatment.
