'This work … is useful for those practitioners working to uphold the rights of children either in government or in the non-governmental and civil society sectors … Peleg's work is a reminder that as human rights practitioners and educators we must continue to build a child-centred pedagogy, one which intentionally strives to amplify the voices of the young rather than regarding what they say as an afterthought. Undoubtedly, this requires work, but it is how we truly reimagine spaces that uphold child rights and child agency.' Marissa A. Gutierrez-Vicario, Human Rights Education Review
