Fairy Tales for Workers' Children

"Fairy Tales for Workers' Children" by Hermynia Zur Mühlen presents a series of imaginative stories intended to teach kids about fairness, the challenges working people face, and the strength they find in helping each other. Through tales that mirror real-world problems, the book encourages children, especially those from working families, to be aware and feel empowered. For example, there's a rose that stops blooming for the rich and instead supports struggling workers, highlighting inequality. Another story features a sparrow who goes against what society expects to find a better life. A loyal dog in another tale gives his life for a child enduring slavery, showing bravery. Finally, a curious boy asks hard questions about poverty, sparking a movement of voices standing up for the mistreated. These stories aim to show children that society needs to change and that working together is vital to fixing unfair systems.
