Voices of the Future: Stories from Around the World

Voices of the Future is an anthology of stories written by children from all over the globe. They have been written as part of UNESCO's Voices of the Future Generations project. This is to help children make sure they are given the right of education and literacy globally. The book is a collection of eight stories written by children. Each story is written by a child allowing them to show off their creativity and imagination of how they see the world that we live in and potentially what might happen to it in the future. Each child's story is full of hope, love and compassion for the planet and how we should care for it. I think this book is incredibly poignant and beautifully put together, giving a small insight into each child, where they come from and what they have done for their local environment. This is a truly inspirational book for other children to read and would thoroughly recommend it. 144 pages / Ages 7+/ Reviewed by Lauren Maidman, teacher
