“This book brings together several theoretical underpinnings of listening to children with case studies of practice from across diverse contexts. The chapters capture the dynamic nature of listening to children and the importance of this for all children, but particularly for those in marginalised communities whose perspectives and voices tend not to be heard. The book is driven by commitments to valuing children, listening to children, and respecting their rights and agency.” - Sue Dockett is Emeritus Professor, Early Childhood Education, School of Education, Charles Sturt University, Australia “This book brings together several theoretical underpinnings of listening to children with case studies of practice from across diverse contexts.
