Everyone has the right to be treated fairly, no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they come from. From A to Z, simple explanations accompanied by engaging artwork teach children about the world we live in and how to navigate our way through it.

Each right-hand page includes a brightly decorated letter with the word it stands for and an encouraging slogan. On the left, a colorful illustration and bite-size text sum up the concept. Cheerful people from a range of backgrounds, ethnicities, and abilities lead the way through the alphabet.

F is for Freedom. We all deserve to be free to choose. N is for Need. Democracy needs everyone's participation to run at its best. Q is for Questions. Go ahead and ask! V is for Voting. Everyone should be able to have their say.

A follow-up to the best-selling An ABC of Equality, this beautiful book will teach the youngest of readers about liberty and justice for all.
