We are all born free

A friend of mine just showed me this gorgeous animated film, commissioned by Amnesty International to advertise their children's book about our universal human rights for children aged 5+. The book itself is another wonderful example of how illustrations can make difficult concepts more accessible, and is bang on trend with a growing popularity in non-fiction children's books on the market. 

The video combines animated illustrations with live acting on a blank white screen, which gives it a really fresh, contemporary look. This is exactly the kind of clean style combined with coloured pencil illustrative animations that I would like to achieve for Claire House. 

'Amnesty's delightful book We Are All Born Free explains the importance of human rights through truly beautiful illustrations. It is clear, simple and uplifting and makes it very easy to raise difficult subjects, even with young children. It is a wonderful educational tool and I strongly believe that every school should own a copy.'
