Heart,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Stolen Dreams: Portraits of Working Children (Carolrhoda Photo Books) (Hardcover)
When I first read this book I didn't exactly know what it meant. After I finished I did. It is really sad that kids my age or older or younger have to do more work than I could do in two years. It's not fair that they are being denied a childhood. They never will have the chance to fall out of a tree, or get grass stains on the new pair of jeans that they will never have. If you don't find this sad you need to find a heart, picutre yourself doing all the work. I don't think we could do it.

A Truly Eye-Opening Experience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stolen Dreams: Portraits of Working Children (Carolrhoda Photo Books) (Hardcover)
I knew this book delt with matters of oppression, but to see that people would actually harm children simply because they were poor, that breaks my heart. This book has many breath taking pictures of children suffering from oppression for some reason or another. The chapter on Iqbal Masih really brings it home. A HIGHLY recommended book.

Thought Provoking,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stolen Dreams: Portraits of Working Children (Carolrhoda Photo Books) (Hardcover)
I saw a story about the man who wrote and photographed this book on 60 Minutes. It was so intersting, I bought the book. The book opens your eyes to child slave labor in third world countries. It's heart breaking to see these children being abused in this manner. The photos are a reality check, and the text will make you weep.
