This is an integrated learning resource that uses the novel, “The Garbage King” by Elizabeth Laird as a starting point to help students become aware of the concept of human and children’s rights and to provide an inspiration for students to become engaged in social action to have a positive influence on children’s rights. (2018 update reflects the new BC Curriculum)
