Synopsis "How to Love a Child: And Other Selected Works Volume 1 Volume 1"

How to Love a Child and Other Selected Works is the first comprehensive collection of Korczak's works translated into English. Volume 1 comprises three pedagogical works, the first being How to Love a Child. This is a tetralogy presenting the life of a child in a family from birth to puberty. The second work, The Events of Childrearing, is based on observations of children made in kindergarten and at school. The third, A Child's Right to Respect, is an ardent manifesto for children's rights such as the right to be what they actually are.

Janusz Korczak, pseudonym of Henryk Goldszmit (Warsaw, 1878 or 1879 – Treblinka, 1942), was a prominent Polish-Jewish pediatrician, educator, and writer. Known for his work advocating for children's rights, he managed orphanages like Dom Sierot and Nasz Dom, implementing self-governance systems for children. His most significant works include King Matt the First (1923), Kaytek the Wizard (1935), How to Love a Child (1920), The Child’s Right to Respect (1929), and Ghetto Diary (1942), the latter written during his time in the Warsaw Ghetto.

His literary output spans both children's literature and pedagogical essays, excelling in the educational and human rights genre. Korczak is considered a pioneer in defending children's rights, and his legacy has influenced modern pedagogy.
