That's Not Fair!: Getting to Know Your Rights and Freedoms

by Danielle S. McLaughlin, Dharmali Patel

Overview

There are lots of rules we all need to follow, from the dress code at school, respecting someone’s privacy, to turning your light off at bedtime. In six entertaining stories, Mayor Moe and City Council grapple with the task of making rules to keep their city safe, prosperous and fair. Not an easy job, since citizens come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and have different thoughts and beliefs. Readers will find out about the rights and freedoms enjoyed by every citizen in a democracy, and why they matter. With its strong focus on civic-mindedness and social justice issues, this book equips readers with the language and concepts that illustrate what it means to be an engaged citizen in a democracy --- and makes it fun!
