Description

Book Synopsis
The book is a call to ensure policy makers facilitate children's participation in their neighbourhoods

Trade Review
'This book is both sad and refreshing. Sad that a book has to be written for a society acknowledged for a sentimentality that runs little more than skin deep. Refreshing that a clutch of practitioner professionals can come together to mull over issues which can improve the lot of children' -- AMA News
