Cover composition description.
The front cover features segments of a photo from a summer camp in Gocławek from 1938. Next to Janusz Korczak (wearing a hat) stands the author, Mister Misza – Michał Wasserman Wróblewski, and below him are four children. The photo is superimposed on a letter from Korczak dated June 22, 1938, to Jakub Kutalczuk, a former educator at the Orphanage. In the letter, Korczak writes, among other things, "Misza is staying next year, and so are the others." The letter is signed Goldszmit at the bottom.
The back cover features a unique photo taken inside the Orphanage, showing Korczak on the left and Mr. Misza on the right among laughing children. The photograph is displayed over the author's handwritten description of the Korczak Committee's activities during the Stalinist era in Poland, when Korczak's books were harshly criticized and sent to the scrap paper.
