I Can, You Can, We Can

Words by Hilary Keating, illustrations by Katy Taggart

This delightful book - packed with wonderful illustrations - helps educate the under fives about their social, community and civil rights and their 'self worth'.

This exciting and lively book for children reminds everyone just how important it is to give children under five access to the same rights as everyone else!

Readers can have fun listening to children make decisions and watch their confidence grow.

In response to the Every Child Matters report (aka HM Treasury 2003) Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, Alistair Scott and his team from Knowsley Sure Start were asked to address an issue which is key to the social, spiritual and academic development of young people everywhere - the right to participation for children aged up to four years.

The book was distributed widely as part of a special education drive but many might ask: Why this age group? Well, quite simply because previously this subject had only been acknowledged as being relevant to those aged five to 19 years.

This book - I Can, You Can, We Can - is a direct result of that initiative and Cities500 are proud to be associated with what has been hailed as a trail-blazing educational publishing venture.
