Children’s rights in the fairy tales of the peoples of the world. Russian-American project

By the initiative of Russian pediatricians and with the assistance of the European paediatric association EPA/ UNEPSA, American Academy of Pediatrics, the «Pediatr» publishing house publishes the book illustrating the UN Children’s Rights Convention. The aim of the project is to popularize the values common to all the mankind, and the knowledge of the children’s rights. This aim has been realized in the form most accessible for children – the fairy tale.

The book represents the original statement of the UN Children’s Rights Convention. The text of the Convention is given without any changes. Part I (articles from 1 to 41) is accompanied by specially selected and adopted fairy tales with drawings illustrating each picture. Part II is given without any illustrations, as it contains the rules under which the articles of the Convention are executed by the society.
