Children need to be aware that they have Rights and the importance of them. This text can then allow pupils to identify and understand the Rights which they have and consider how having Rights impacts their lives and consider what life would be like if these Rights weren’t universal. With ENDCAP, we helped authorities develop an EU Policy for Animal Welfare to improve standards for all wild animals in captivity in Europe.

Living in South Africa, I have always been awed by the nature of wild animals. Although I am not the biggest fan of non-fiction, books about animals always fascinate me. In some ways, Joy's writing is refreshing, as it's almost completely about Elsa and her cubs.

Joy Adamson was cremated and her ashes were buried in Elsa the Lioness's grave in Meru National Park in Meru, Kenya.

Adamson receives fan mail from readers of Born Free Their publisher comes out from Britain and is introduced to Elsa, at which point Adamson does not mention raising the question of her royalties but maybe I'm just nastier than her imagining that discussions over the size of an advance would go better when an adult lioness has her head on the publishers knee, this part is somewhat less sweet.After heavy negotiating the Adamsons eventually found a place in the Serengeti Reserve in neighbouring Tanganyika where the cubs resettled. The Adamsons stayed in touch with the three cubs as tourists, but eventually totally lost sight of them.

They are not nearly as tame or accepting towards humans as their mother, and they constantly struggle between imitating her actions and following their instincts.But it’s not just a pretty book. The 30 articles explain our rights as human beings, simply and matter-of-factly. For example: “We all have the right to life, and to live in freedom and safety.” Some of the pictures are amusing, others are poignant. Each article is a rich stimulus for discussion and wondering, and will help children empathise with others.
