Inspired by the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1959, Declaration on the Rights of the Child introduces young readers to the fundamental rights that every child should enjoy, including the right to a name, a home, education, healthcare, protection, leisure, and dignity. Rather than presenting the document in a purely institutional format, the book transforms these universal principles into an accessible and engaging reading experience that encourages reflection on citizenship, equality, and human rights.

Written by Flavio de Souza, acclaimed Brazilian author, playwright, screenwriter, and creator of landmark television series such as Castle Rá-Tim-Bum and The Moon World, the book presents the Declaration through three complementary approaches: a poetic interpretation, an accessible explanation of each of its ten principles, and the complete official text. This structure allows readers to engage with the subject on different levels while preserving both its emotional resonance and historical significance.

The illustrations by street artist Rimon Guimarães give the book a strong visual identity. Drawing on influences from Indigenous, naïve, and urban art traditions, his vibrant compositions transform the pages into a public space for dialogue and participation. The dynamic graphic design further encourages reader interaction, reinforcing the idea that rights are not abstract concepts, but living principles that shape everyday life.

By combining poetry, visual art, and civic education, Declaration on the Rights of the Child offers a thoughtful introduction to one of the most important international documents dedicated to children’s well-being, encouraging young readers to understand their rights and their place in a more just and inclusive society.
