I Own Myself: A Children’s Guide to Self-Ownership and Voluntaryism

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence. Written in the summer of 1776, Thomas Jefferson’s words laid the foundation of individual liberty. The ability of each individual to live his or her own life, without interference, is the most fundamental right that we possess. Every person has the right to be free from force, aggression, fraud, and coercion. How are we able to accomplish this in a diverse society? Through Self-Ownership and Voluntaryism! Together, these principles provide a framework of mutual respect, consent, and understanding. Through colorfully illustrated examples, focusing on the Golden Rule and personal autonomy, I Own Myself, the second book in the I Know My Rights series, provides a foundation of knowledge to help every individual live a peaceful and prosperous life.
