J'ai bien le droit par Tom Tirabosco

In preparation for Orange Shirt Day, the students and I read the book entitled "J'ai bien le droit" by Tom Tirabosco. 

Following our shared reading, we discussed the theme of the book relating to Orange Shirt Day which discusses how:

1. Each child has the right to live with his/her family. 

2. Each child has the right to eat a good meal. 

3. Each child has the right to play. 

4. Each child has the right to LEARN. 

5. Each child has the right to be protected and feel safe. 

6. Each child has the right to express his/her opinion. 

Upon reading this book, we discussed that these rights of a child have already been established by the United Nations in 1989. 

Each one of these rights was eloquently written and illustrated for children in this picture book which helped the students understand why all of us celebrate Orange Shirt Day.
