Synopsis "How to Love a Child: And Other Selected Works Volume 2 Volume 2"

How to Love a Child and Other Selected Works is the first comprehensive collection of Korczak's works translated into English. It contains his most important pedagogical writings, journal articles, as well as private texts. Volume 2 starts with extensive excerpts from two pedagogical treatises written for young readers. These are: Rules of Life, which explains the intricacies of human relationships. Next follows a selection of journal articles presenting topics from social problems, pediatrics, developmental psychology and special pedagogy. This is followed by a collection of unpublished writing including private letters exchanged between him and his former wards. The final section is his diary - a unique documentation of Korczak's last weeks of life. Korczak's writing is characterized by uncompromising views, acute observations, subtle reflection, and, above all, love for children.

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.
