"This valuable new text positions the child as competent in the research process and introduces the Narrative Approach, and its associated Informing Story, as an appropriate method for engaging young children in the informed consent process. Through various case studies, readers can deepen their understanding of how this innovative approach can be used in different contexts. Use of the ideas presented in The Narrative Approach to Informed Consent: Empowering Young Children’s Rights and Meaningful Participation will ensure that children are respected in research processes; are empowered to speak, be and feel in their participation roles; and that researchers can be supported to make this happen." Dr Natália Fernandes, Associate Professor, Institute of Education, University of Minho, Portugal "The Narrative Approach to Informed Consent: Empowering Young Children’s Rights and Meaningful Participation offers fresh theoretical and methodological perspectives on young children’s informed consent in research. The research-based Narrative Approach presented here provides an innovative conceptual and procedural framework for designing, doing and disseminating ethical research with children." 　 Emeritus Professor Ann Farrell, Adjunct Professor, School of Early Childhood and Inclusive Education, Faculty of Creative Industries, Education and Social Justice, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
