If I Were Rain is a book about children, by children. It is a visual and testimonial tribute to the spirit of India''s children who live in the very difficult circumstances of poverty, exploitation and exclusion. Structured around the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the book examines India''s urban reality in the context of basic child''s rights and the experiences of children living in disadvantage. Through their voices, poetry, art and in-depth stories, these children talk about their greatest challenges and their hopes for the future. This book endeavours to tell it like it is. By no means does it trivialise the underlying extreme adversity in which these children grow, learn and create. On the contrary, it explores the wealth of intelligence, creativity and joy that is also part of their lives. The book seeks support for children not from a standpoint of pity - rather from a concern for perfect children in an imperfect world..ISBN: 8175254440
