Divided into five chronological chapters--from "The Child Romantic" to "The Knowing Child"--advances and setbacks, both political and social, are explored in the progress toward gaining the basic rights of freedom of speech, health care, and education for all children. Areas such as child labor and exploitation and the effects of intolerance, poverty, illiteracy, hunger, disease, war, and terrorism are addressed, while also celebrating positive advances in child development and welfare. With more than three hundred photographs and illustrations and more than one hundred pages of text, Full of Grace is anengaging and informative journey through the history of children in society--a journey that is seen through the eyes of photographers and the voices of writers of children's classics. A traveling exhibit will be launched in connection with the publication of Full of Grace. The editor's net proceeds from the book and exhibition will be contributed to UNICEF.
