Our Promise to Children

Kathleen A. Guy, ed., Ottawa: Canadian Institute of Child Health, 1997; 197 pp; paper $18.00 ca.
This little book is about children and what we can do to make sure they thrive; it is for a Canadian audience and uses examples of programs and studies in Canada where possible. The book starts with facts and data about what helps children thrive. It continues, in an easy-to-read and informal manner, to give examples of studies, interventions and programs that work to help children. The simplicity, direct manner, clarity and abundant practical information make it very useful for anyone working with children or programs that help them.
