The book is the first child-friendly version of the convention in Hong Kong, and is built around a series of children's drawings depicting the key issues of child and human rights. Each illustration twins an ideal situation with reality.

The UNCRC was extended to Hong Kong in 1994. It aims to protect 1.3 million Hong Kong children from harm. Yet many children have never heard about it because the official version is too difficult for them to understand, hindering their learning about their rights.

The book was launched by the Hong Kong Committee on Children’s Rights at the “A Child’s-Eye View of the UNCRC” Book Launching Ceremony-cum-Child Rights Carnival” at the Plaza of Kwai Tsing Theatre on Sunday, 4 February.

Children's commission
An independent report commissioned by the committee, "Shaping the Future", showed there is unanimous support for a separate and independent children’s commission. The study on which the report is based was carried out by the Global Institute For Tomorrow on behalf of the Committee. The report was released on 17 December 2006.
