Review :
"There are three distinct levels of resources here, but all emphasize the empowerment of youth and the importance of their perspective. [The] book speaks directly to young people who want to take action; the American Planning Association has provided a tool to involve children in the process typically reserved for adults; and Stepping Forward gives readers the "big picture" with an international scope. Each approach is valuable, considering the wide range of cultures, abilities, interests and ages among youth."--Counterpoise
