CONDITION:

This hard-cover book and its dust jacket are in near fine, excellent condition. There is a small black felt pen mark—a remainder mark— on the bottom page edges, otherwise the book is like new. The dust jacket has two tiny tears near the corners of the front panel.

From the dust jacket description:

“Whoever we are, wherever we live, these are the rights of every child under the sun and the moon and the stars.”

Of all the books published to celebrate the beginning of the new Millennium, this must surely be one of the most important.

In November 1989 the United Nations formally adopted fifty-four principles that make up the UN Convention on the Rights of the child—from the right to a name and a nationality to the right to education and play and special protection for disabled children.

And now in this extraordinary book, fourteen of the most pertinent rights have been carefully chosen and retold in a simple, evocative text that can be understood by every child. Each right has been interpreted in a stunning double-page spread by some of the world’s most acclaimed artists, including two American award-winners: jerry Pinkney and Rachel Isadora.
