Facts for Life

"Facts for Life" is a book published and distributed by UNICEF. It provides basic, clearly-expressed advice about child health. According to UNICEF:

:Every year, nearly 11 million children die from preventable causes before reaching their fifth birthday ... Many of these deaths can be avoided if parents and caregivers understand what to do when illness strikes and how to recognize the danger signs that signal the need for medical help. [http://www.unicef.org/ffl/index.html]

"Facts for Life" provides this information in an easy-to-understand format and in 215 languages. Since it was first published in 1989, it has become one of the most popular books in the world, with an estimated 15 million copies in use in 200 countries. [http://www.unicef.org/ffl/index.html]
