Children's Rights Colour & Learn Activity Book

Introducing the Colour & Learn Activity Book

The Children’s Rights Colour and Learn Book is a fun and interactive way for children to explore and understand their rights. Written by award-winning author Dannika Patterson and illustrated by Amanda Letcher, this creative resource introduces the 54 rights outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) through colouring, puzzles, and activities.

From mazes and word games to puppet-making and sing-alongs with Aunty Sharron’s I Am Me song, each page brings children’s rights to life in an engaging and meaningful way. The book also showcases the TypeRights Font, designed from the artwork of Queensland children, making it a truly collaborative creation inspired by young voices.

Perfect for homes, classrooms, and community groups, this book empowers children to celebrate their identity, feel safe and valued, and recognise the importance of their rights.

Why It's a Great Educational Resource

This is a great educational resource because it combines learning with creativity and play, making children’s rights easy to understand and remember. A few key strengths:

Interactive learning – Colouring, puzzles, mazes, and puppet-making activities allow children to actively engage rather than passively read.
Child-centred design – The inclusion of the TypeRights Font and artwork inspired by children ensures their voices and creativity are at the heart of the resource.
Cultural connection – Featuring Aunty Sharron’s I Am Me song reinforces identity and celebrates First Nations perspectives.
Curriculum-friendly – The book aligns with the UNCRC and can be easily used in classrooms to support learning about rights, identity, and wellbeing.
Versatile use – Suitable for schools, libraries, community groups, and families, it supports both structured education and informal conversations.
Empowerment through understanding – By exploring rights in an age-appropriate way, children learn that they are valued, protected, and have a voice.
