Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
When I Am Little Again ; And, The Child's Right to Respect
Janusz Korczak · 1992
76/100
👍 Worth It
Korczak's case for treating children as full human beings with dignity remains foundational, and the fictional novella's device of an adult re-experiencing childhood perception is inventive and warm. This is an academic University Press edition aimed at educators and scholars, not casual readers, and the prose can feel dated. But the moral weight behind these texts, written by a man who walked with his orphans to Treblinka, is impossible to dismiss.
