Riassunto

Meet the children of the British Isles. In the last year Barnabas and Anabel Kindersley have travelled the country recording the thoughts wishes hopes and fears of the younger generation from every walk of life. The children describe the day-to-day events of their lives as well as their plans for the future. Each spread compares the community today with how it was a hundred years ago so readers can see how much or how little in some cases things have changed. Every child has a unique story to tell. Carl from Exeter is a black belt in the martial art tae kwon-do. Michael boogie-boards and surfs off the Cornish coast. Ruby learns Indian classical dance in Sheffield. From every area of the United Kingdom children demonstrate the talent and energy they devote to their busy lives. The children voice their enthusiasm and their worries. They raise questions about environment war and peace racial discrimination and family relationships that concern every one of us. What shines through the voices is a commitment to change. This book is a testimony to the lives of children today and a message of hope for the future. It is for every British child who wants to know about the other children that share their country. For adults its a unique and charming snapshot of our children and the dreams they carry with them into the new millennium. Produced in association with UNICEF The United Nation's Children's Fund their newest ambassador Robbie Williams introduces the book with an invitation to celebrate the millennium.
