The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Pictures
Various Artists

To be released this month! Available now for pre-order.

The United Nations' 30 Articles are here depicted in this richly illustrated picture book.
New

December 10th (1948) was the day The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was signed. This illustrated picture book brings alive a rich and complex theme in a deceptively simple way. The text— provided by Amnesty International—turns difficult concepts into comprehensible ideas. Particularly as the Indian education system introduces human rights as a subject into its curriculum, this will prove a useful supplemental text for middle schoolers and upwards.

With illustrations by 30 international artists of great renown, the book has sold 150,000 copies, to date, around the world.
