The book emphasizes that these rights belong to every child on the planet, whether they are \"black or white, small or big, rich or poor, born here or somewhere else.\" It also makes evident that knowing and talking about these rights are the first steps toward making sure that they are respected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brief afterword explains that the rights outlined in the book come from the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989. The treaty sets out the basic human rights that belong to children all over the world, recognizing that children need special protection since they are more vulnerable than adults. It has been ratified by 193 states, with the exception of Somalia, the United States and the new country of South Sudan. Once a state has ratified the document, they are legally bound to comply with it and to report on their efforts to do so. As a result, some progress has been made, not only in awareness of children's rights, but also in their implementation.
