It's a new school year, and Afif and his sisters, Noor and Jana, have returned to classes after their summer vacation. Afif meets and becomes a close friend to a new student named Kareem. When Afif learns that Kareem and his family moved from a neighboring country because of terrorism and danger, the students ask their teacher about the most important children's right. In the week that follows, the school children work together to give short presentations on the topic, and their class celebrates Children's Rights Week. They have conversations about equal treatment, freedom and dignity, clean food and water, stability, education, child labor, and children with special needs. Afif and his classmates soon understand the need for compassion and cooperation, and together they're ready to make the world a better place. In this short children's story, a group of classmates learn about the important elements of children's rights throughout the world and about what they can do to help.
