ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

 

Dustin Milligan first conceived the idea for La Charte pour les enfants when he was a

student at the Faculty of Law at McGill University. After his first year of studies, he was

concerned that the common citizen wasn't equipped to understand Canada's complicated

legal system.

He recognized that children were at a further disadvantage. By combining his love for

literature and law, Dustin created a series of books that offers children a basic

understanding of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
